Lyrics:

So tip toe through tireless peace
Come and go, leave your toys and sweets
If I had a place you could visit me
Read fairy tales, play hide and go seek
Cliff faces are far too steep
Even though we try to smile through our teeth
And this surface is not so deep
Although we have our secrets to keep
And tightropes are seldom too weak
Say, I've lost my shoes or I have cold feet
And say, stranger, how did we meet?
Who will hear us when we start to speak?
While our shadows are still out on the street
My skin still as white as a sheet
And our time is short and fleet
Empty pockets, trick or treat
We all need food to eat
Friend or foe, we all go to sleep
And life away from home is far from cheap
So look long now before you leap
And hey, soldier, please have a seat
You're only alive while you're on parked feet
There will always be wolves among the sheep
But what's left of the earth will be plowed by the meek
Plowed by the meek, by the meek

So tip toe through tireless peace
Come and go, leave your toys and sweets
When I have a place come to visit me
Read fairy tales, play hide and go seek
And go seek...
