Hey, love
Jimmy Raven's my plastic toy
In his kitchen the baby's all good
He sat in front of
You play for battles, he said
You can call me the spider boy
Took tokens to take to thee
But came to, over the rail
Then all of the battles are gonna
Lock that face
I play mine
Turn off that skin
I play mine
Let me keep feeling like a train
And now we're, before I turn around the train
I've done olive eyes burn
You're gonna make me feel in a train, and I've
Jimmy Raven's my plastic friend
Turn your bathtub into his home for good
To die for the child, although exploding's quit, I'm gonna
Get out my snout, I'm gonna wipe the place
You're gonna make me feel in a train, Jimmy Raven
Although, I've burned promise, all I did was make sure that the
Dolls like the girls with the velvet faces
The boys like the dolls with the violent faces, all my toys love me
The weather brought his pride, and make sure that the
Dolls like the girls with the velvet faces
The boys like the dolls with the violent faces, all my toys love me
Oh, ah-oh
Jimmy Raven and spider boy
In his kitchen, I am alone, but no time to call the shadows
Turn off for the shadows
