Your Parents Are Always Right

Lyrics

Starlight
Can make anyone uptight
Can make anyone see right through the rules

To the snow white
Light side of the dark night
Bright heads how they shine right through the ruse

Don't talk to strangers
Be home before dark
Stay warm and sleep tight
Your parents are always right

A full moon
Can make anyone see strange
Can make anyone feel the strain of dues

A little moonlight
Casts a shadow oh so wide
You'd never know when you step into the fire

Just sit tight
We'll put you right under nightlights
We'll prize your secrets out from your blinks and sighs

Oh little child
You've got a grip like a drowning crowd
You've got to listen to what we say out loud

Don't talk to strangers
Be home before dark
Stay warm and sleep tight
Your parents are always right
