Lock yourself behind an iron gate

To keep the intruders off your way

Sleep with a rifle in your bed

But still your screams keep you awake



'The madman's hiding in the night' 

Searching for you

'The thieves are approaching your house'

Always out of sight

'The murderer's on the loose tonight' 

Waiting for you

'Defend your piece of paradise'

Playtime's over



I can't tell the sun from the moon



All work and no play at all

Made Jack a dull little boy



Don't let the strangers know your name

Their smiling teeth have disappeared

Don't take the shortcut by the lake

Their eyes are following your way



'The madman's hiding in the night' 

Searching for you

'The thieves are approaching your house'

Always out of sight

'The murderer's on the loose tonight' 

Waiting for you

'Defend your piece of paradise'

Playtime's over



I can't tell the sun from the moon



All work and no play at all

Made Jack a dull little boy



Here come a candle to light you to bed

Here come an angel to take you away
