lyrics

When the Child-Stealer came to our house
He really came in flames, and he covered the sky
I was hiding in a cardboard castle
But I listened as he took my little brother away
So I searched every record store
Where we used to hang around before
The Child-Stealer came.

On the bus with a leaky umbrella
I thought I saw the Child-Stealer stealing a glance
I'm hunting him, and he's following me
Down to the borders of night where I saw my chance
And the streets tell a different story
Between mountains of responsibility
The Child-Stealer came.

We met in a family graveyard
Where we'd come for years with our fears in the frost
As he smiled and looked at his watch
I knew in an instant that the battle was lost
On the fields of a thousand nations
Dinosaurs roll over the bones
The Child-Stealer claims.
(Paul Bloch, 1987ish)

"Hey," said Brooke one night at Alpina's after I played my weekly set, "Dika and me are putting together a band, three singers, three songwriters, would you be interested? And could you find us a drummer and a bass player?"
