lyrics

twinkle little star how I wonder where you are
let the dish run away with the spool
hickory dickory dock let world reel and rock
and the dish run away with the spoon

Alice she fell down through a hole in the ground
as the queen put the boat into her hair
the candle stick maker met up with the undertaker
on his way down to vanity fair

Jesus Christ, he got it right the night he walked on top of the sea
and the three blind mice met up with the butcher's knife
please weave your straw into gold for me

little boy blue what in the hells wrong with you
don't you know it's all in the turn of your key
go on a blow your horn 'cause the cow is in the corn
and the king has fallen down to his kness

the full moon turns red when there's trouble up ahead
for you chicken little and for me
ashes, ashes and we all fall down
as Manhattan is swallowed up by the sea

then we land our boat high on top of the rocks
throw the doors open and let the animals go free
mother goose is there she dances so hard that her foot comes loose
Pied Piper lead the rats of the cliff into the sea

about

The Wealthy Orphans image

The Wealthy Orphans Grand Rapids, Michigan

Playing music forged in the furnace of real life, the Wealthy Orphans open hearts and unzip heaven at the same time. Their songs are lite up with vivid imagery, haunted by enigmatic narratives that confuse as much as enlighten.
