There is a story I once knew,
c tale about a frog
That's put into a pot that's heated slow.
The story says the frog won't run
Or try to get away.
He'll boil to death, and he will never know.

cnd the water's getting warmer just a little bit each time.
Don't bother trying to keep up you'll just lose your little mind.
cnd you know that something's wrong but you just can't remember how
The water once so sweet and cool became what it is now

Please come with me little darling.
You have a home in my garden.
c pond with lilypads and
Everything you never had.
Don't be afraid little darling.
You will be safe in my garden.
I'll never make you cry
Promise you can sleep well tonight.


Of course in time he starts to feel
The water's getting hot.
He starts to feel the burning on his skin
But those burns weren't there yesterday
So he says that they're still not.
cnd thus keeps up the cycle that he's in.

But the water's getting warmer just a little bit each time.
Don't bother trying to keep up you'll just lose your little mind.
cnd you know that something's wrong but you just can't remember how.
The water once so sweet and cool became what it is now.

Please come with me little darling.
You have a home in my garden.
c pond with lilypads and
Everything you never had.
Don't be afraid little darling.
You will be safe in my garden.
I'll never make you cry
Promise you can sleep well tonight


Well I believe that little frog
Does sometimes get away,
But now the healthy water just feels wrong.
He isn't sure how he's supposed
To live without the pain.
Perhaps the boiling pot's where he belongs.

Where the water's getting warmer just a little bit each time.
Don't bother trying to keep up you'll just lose your little mind.
cnd you know that something's wrong but you just can't remember how
The water once so sweet and cool became what it is now.

Please come with me little darling.
You have a home in my garden.
c pond with lilypads and
Everything you never had.
Don't be afraid little darling.
You will be safe in my garden.
I'll never make you cry
Promise you can sleep well tonight

I'll never make you cry
Promise you can sleep well tonight
