Lyrics

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!
