Daggers of moonlight murder the sheets
in the stink of a four dollar room
Daddy's gone hunting for a dime bag of schoolboy
tied up with a yellow balloon
Now hush little baby, daddy must go
I'll cover you up with a blanket of snow
By the time I make Jersey, you'll be in heaven
in a little blue shoe box, I know
So sing a song of ten grand, with a pocket full of dough
and I can't take you to Baltimore
Wake god up in heaven, have him look down below,
there's a little lost angel blooming in the snow
