The Child Catcher

John Grant

[Verse 1]
Remember when you'd never heard of him
Your first reaction might have been to smile
Once upon a time, your unadulterated mind
Could not conceive of something of this kind
That you would wither and die on the vine

[Pre-Chorus]
Alabaster demon
Transmogrifying semen
Now was this in the agreement
Now I understand what she meant
Blood-soaked pathogen
Tied for first place with original sin
I really wish I'd never let him in
Now I can feel him deep down in my skin

[Chorus]
The child catcher is alive
His shape is shifting right bеfore your eyes again
Hе's always been there in the shadows calling out your name
When he gets hold of you no thing will ever be the same
The child catcher has arrived
But now he doesn't ever have to hide again
He beckons you to come inside his brightly colored carriage
That's where the coupling happens ending in a deadly marriage

[Verse 2]
The perfect time to take control of minds
A recent scientific study finds, is in the womb
Life nipped in the bud
Delivered subtly through the the mother's own blood
You'll never know exactly what it was
The happy nest becomes the perfect tomb

[Chorus]
The child catcher is alive
His shape is shifting right before your eyes again
He's always been there in the shadows calling out your name
When he gets hold of you no thing will ever be the same
The child catcher has arrived
But now he doesn't ever have to hide again
He beckons you to come inside his brightly colored carriage
That's where the coupling happens ending in a deadly marriage
