Lyrics

Put away forbidden playthings

Amusements and distractions

And dismantle the contraption and carry it away

In time as beauty dissolves into glamour

It slips from your heart it falls under the hammer

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...
