Текст песни Laurence O'Keefe - Hold Me, Batboy

In a cave many miles to south,
Lives a boy, born with fangs in his mouth,
Sleeping until the fading light,
Blinds through bloody trees,
When he awakes the summer night,
It's filled with screams.

We have heard he was born in the bogs,
That he feeds on the flies and the frogs,
You call him beast or changeling,
Or demon chimpanzee,
But we will prove he's no such thing,
He's much like me, and me.

Hold me batboy,
Touch me batboy,
Help me through the night,
Love me batboy,
Save me batboy,
Make it all turn out all right.

He was dragged from his home and thrown down,
At the edge of a cold, mighty town.
They stripped him of his dignity.
They beat him like a gong.
And he was kicked repeatedly,
And that was wrong, so wrong.

Hold the batboy, (Won't you hold him?)
Touch the batboy, (Won't you touch him?)
Lead him to the light. (Lead him to the light)
Love the batboy, (Won't you love him?)
Save the batboy, (Somebody save him.)
Make it all turn out all right.

Would no one defend him,
Protect him, befriend him,
Would none hear his cry?
(Yeah, would none hear his cry, ya'll?)
Or would they destest him,
Arrest him, molest him
Or just let him die?
You can't just stand by.

He has suffered, and now it's your turn.
You are here not to laugh, but to learn.
Listen to his ungodly shriek,
For what we put him through.
Heed the tale of a filthy freak,
Who's just like you, and you, and you.

Oh, hold me batboy, (hold me batboy)
Touch me batboy, (touch me batboy)
Won't you help me through the night?
Make it all turn out all right.
Love me batboy, (love me batboy)
Save me batboy, (save me batboy)
I'll be calling out your name,
Come and take away my shame.

Hold me batboy, (hold me batboy)
Touch me batboy, (touch me batboy)
Heal the crowd when no one hears,
Wont you lick away my tears?
Love me batboy, (love me batboy)
Save me batboy, (save me batboy)
Sink your fangs into my soul,
Only you can make me whole.

Hold me batboy,
Touch me batboy,
Hold me in your arms tonight.
