Please God No

Can you see my body
Can you see it grow
Do you see it throbbing
Won’t you watch it glow

I don’t want it
Make it end
Stop this mad unsightly trend
Take this red-veined oddly-angled stone
(Oh God help me)

Can you hear the thunder
Can you see it crack
Can you see it stretching
Stretching through the black
Stirring in the steeple
Up on Federal Hill
Can’t you feel it coming
Coming for to kill

See the Haunter
Watch it fly
Membranes pushing to the sky
See the three-lobed burning eye
I am it
It is I

See my body
See it grow
See it throbbing
Please God no
See the Haunter
Watch it fly
Membranes pushing
To the sky
See my body
See it grow
See it throbbin
Please God no
Cross my heart and
Hope to fly
Stick an Insect
