Play with Me (v. 5 remix) [NDC, w. 41]

[Music box chime, child giggles] [Intro] One, two, buckle my shoe, Three, four, knock at the door… [Verse 1] Cookies on the counter, Milk upon the floor, Maggie flew the window, She won’t play no more. Andy tells the secret, But no one wants it true, Big folks never listen— So I’ll whisper just to you. [Pre-Chorus] Button eyes are watching, Velvet hands of glue, Good Guys never hurt you… Till the hurt comes through. [Chorus] Play with me, play with me, Don’t you ever hide. Bestest friends forever, Till your mommy died. Giggles in the cupboard, Whispers in the bed, Good Guys never hurt you… Till you end up dead. [Verse 2] Tap-tap on the window, Shuffle in the hall, Every game is different, But I win them all. Trade me souls for secrets, That’s the way we play, I’ll tuck you in with lullabies That never go away. [Bridge] Eenie-meenie-minie-moe, Catch a grown-up, slit their throat, If they holler, let them go— Just kidding… no I won’t. [Chorus – Variation] Ring-around-the-rosie, Blood upon your nosey, Ashes, ashes, Everybody’s froze-y. Hug me tight, don’t drop me, Keep me night and day, If you break a promise… Then your soul’s my play. [Outro] Five, six, pick up sticks… Seven, eight Too late. [Music box slows, giggle fades]
