Put away forbidden playthings

Put away forbidden playthings Amusements and distractions And dismantle the contraption and carry it away In time as beauty dissolves into glamor It slips from your heart and falls under the hammer Put away forbidden playthings Put away forbidden playthings And never return to pluck out that jewel Or find the thrill that lingers still While suffering the dream of disobeying Put away forbidden playthings Put away forbidden playthings Put away forbidden playthings
