Wily Creilly was inside me
Painting pictures - telling stories
All about the world outside
All about the things he might have been
…If he had bones and skin
Wily Creilly cried inside me:
"please don't hide me, just unbind me
Let me have just one small day to operate your body
Let me play and I will be okay"
(the stars are out tonight/the birds in sacred flight
And here am I leashed and restrained
Not even walked! I'm in pain, I'm in pain)
Wily Creilly cried inside me:
"please don't hide me, just untie me
Let me have just one small day to occupy your body
Don't delay - I promise I'll behave"
Wily Creilly you surprise me
Did you think I was so easy?
What's to stop you running away?
No, I think it's better you should stay in the box I made
"I despise you, I will destroy you
And I will always be inside you
You can never get away
I will make you rue this very day
I'll make you pay"
