Hayes, Darren - Neverland Lyrics
Long ago
When mercury descended high on the moon
Far below
Where little hands are making shapes in the room
The shadows they dance
The face
That's staring through the tiny crack in the door
Eyes so wide
He's never seen a women fall on the floor
I swear daddy's killed her this time
Should I make a rocket?
Should I try to fly away?
Should I make a hammer?
Should I try to smash his face?
Should I try to shoot the gun?
I'm sure the judge will let me off real soon.
Long ago
When saturn tried to find a way past the sun
Deep inside
A little boy is turning pain into fun
The pencils, the crayons, the paint colors run
The plans
Are forming slowly made with scissors and glue
Eyes so wide
He's telling mommy all the things he can do
He'll sketch a contraption to save them for sure
He can draw an alien
He can come and take them home
He can draw a cartoon
He can draw a safety hatch
He can draw a hot bath
He can plug a toaster in
And wait till daddy's nice and warm
Toss it in
And then when he's gone
There's a neverland of fun
Take a loaded gun.
Take a shot of rum.
Take a poison rat.
There's a lesson in that.
No more closing fists.
No more face to hit.
No more bloody nose or apologetic roses.
Long ago when mercury descended high on the moon.
Should I make a rocket?
Should I try to fly away?
Far below little hands are making shapes in the room.
Should I make a hammer?
Should I try to smash his face?
Long ago when Saturn tried to find a way past the sun.
Should I draw are cartoon?
Should I draw an alien?
Deep inside a little boy is turning pain into fun.
Should I draw a hot bath?
Should I throw the toaster in?

Hayes, Darren Neverland Comments
Darren Hayes has my mother's last name.
One of the haviest darkest.song darren ever sang
Daddy good luck with cancer :))
Those are some super vocals Dazza : ○
Love his music... Melodious Music softens the sad lyrics though....!
Love this guys music so much depth and feeling in his music
amazing miss him
I cry for the little boy, for Darren. He has come so far, and we love him so much. Hugs to you Darren!
Yes but the melody is not. If you don't listen to the text I don't think you would notice how sad it is.
I think that's the point :)
"Should I make a hammer? Should I try to smash his face?" That's sick!
I never listened carefully to the lyrics, I just liked the sound of the song. Knowing what is really about kind of creeps me out.
It is based on his childhood, you read right. Sad, isn't it?
No, I don't believe so; it's about his childhood. Darren grew up in an abusive home, and this is about his experiences.
Or he could mean he's 'buttering up' his father and by 'toss it in' he means get rid of him, once he thinks he's secure at the house. That's what I used to think, but recently I thought about what you said from watching an episode of a crime show where the victim dies like that, and it makes more sense.
'Like' if your English Class brought you here!
This song kinda reminds me Emilie Autumn's music. The lyrics, the melody - it all screams Emilie Autumn. It would be awesome if they could sing a duet.
lol. wow....what a twisted song...
is that a peter pan song
melody kinda reminds me of an enya song . but its really addictive :)
this song reminds me of my childhood (tho i'm a girl)
''He can draw a hot bath, he can plug a toaster in, and wait till daddy's nice and warm...toss it in.''
So twisted, yet awesome xD
somebody tell me that this song is dedicated to michael jackson's neverland, is it true?
this is how I sometimes feel when my mom and dad were fighting a lot when I was a kid, the only thing I remember from my childhood wasn't playing swords or imagination at day or stories and lullaby at night, it was depression, longing for death at day, then screaming and tears at night. Because my dad hated my mother for who she was and tortured her , me and my sister :(
superpeace321 I am sorry. I know exactly how it feels. Just wish I had a superpower to make all the abusive dads vanish into nothingness .
This is my current favourite song. And from what I read, I believe it's actually about real life (I mean - as in it's written from Hayes' personal experience).
~JazkaStar~
you can plug a toaster in, and wait till daddy's nice and warm. Toss it in..
How creepy is that ;) But I really really love this song. (And Darren Hayes himself ;))
