Wily Creilly -

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»
