Put away forbidden playthings
|
Amusements and distractions
|
And dismantle the contraption and carry it away
|
|
In time as beauty dissolves into glamour
|
It slips from your heart and falls under the hammer.
|
Put away forbidden playthings...
|
|
And never return to pluck out that jewel
|
Or find the thrill that slumbers still
|
While suffering the dream of disobeying.
|
Put away forbidden playthings...
