When all should be done and gone, / he comes round again to see,
he can't keep himself away
He touches her hand and it starts again
His work is an ugly mess
He prods and it cries in pain
He kicks and it starts to scream
He hurries away when she cannot see
When all should be done and gone,
he comes round again to see,
he can't keep himself away
he touches her hand and it / starts again
Moving so slowly, / droplets of kindness / that poison and choke
when this thing should have died long ago
The entrails are soft and warm, / this time it must be the end
One touch and it lives again
He keeps it alive to be part of its pain / (and that's mercy
And that's compassion / And that's being good friends in a crisis
What's one corpse between friends?)
Oh / oh-oh-oh
Leave it, boy / Just leave it alone
Stop scratching, or it'll never heal / Just let it lie in peace
Get out of the way, /get out of the way, / the brakes cannot last for long
He knows he must let it go, / he knows but he keeps a hold
He touches her hand and it / starts again
Ah! / Ah! / Ah!
Moving so slowly, / he drops it so gently, / urging its life
to a peak to torment it again!
