Paul Shapera - 9. Henry The Alchemist
текст песни

Henry:
My town of vulture rock was quiet, i was young my science
was my favorite thing since i was shy and awkward and cute guys i just
could not talk to
I got so confused
til Evan came along

Alchemy is quite my thing, when solubles are transforming
and matter unmade reshaping and souls themselves transmutating
I dream of potions
of evolution
to lead mankind

The hell mouth just appeared one day a rift in time a tear in space
and monsters from a hellish place came out to eat and kill and chase
and doom arrived
we prepared to die
til an idea crossed my mind

A potion i had never made, too dangerous, but thought could change
a man in strange divergent ways our last hope of salvation lay
with death coming
i made some
and i drank it down that day

Henry:
"I don't understand, nothing happened."

Evan:
Well at least you tried Henry. its all right. if this is the end, maybe.. maybe we should... just one last time..

Henry:
Yes, id like that. Mmmm, that feels good

Evan:
Well you're certainly getting aroused... oh! dear god.. Henry... whats happening to you?

Henry:
I... i feel.... like something inside is coming out.... rrraaaaarrRRRGH

I'm the wild man
The party's always where i am
I'm the scream hurled by that drunk girl
when midnight
I'm the sodomite
who makes everything all right
I'm the mad howl of you night out

Henry:
Where am i?

Old Coot:
You're in Rattlesnake Springs up above the Whiskeybath Saloon

Henry:
But that's 70 miles awa.. wait, why are all these naked men passed out all over the place?

Old Coot:
Oh, you missed quite a shindig last night., It was all willies and alcohol around here

Henry:
My alter ego, Hurl indeed could kill the foul invading beasts
but he was wild and wasn't me, he drank and screwed and fought and screamed
A wild Id
who i hated
at war with my own self

After he'd fought the beasts attacks he wouldn't want to calm, change back
He'd go on benders that would last for days of drinking, sex and laughs
He gorged in bed
with scores of men
for miles and miles around

The thing that makes me change to him, arousal, an erection, when
desire rises springs within the transformation happens and
i cave, change and he
raves and shames me and
i cannot keep him down

And so i try to keep somehow him from ever coming out
i drink elixirs to renounce and keep my strange libido down
i vow now
i must live without
becoming ever more aroused

Townspeople:
Henry! A new monsters has come through and is attacking the town! We need Hurl! You got to get it up!

He cant get it up? But if he doesn't change we'll all die!

Listen up everyone, we've all got to pitch in to give Henry an erection!

Get it up, Henry, get it up!

Get the men's rowing club over here! Get your clothes off and start showering! Spank each other playfully! You, cowboys... oh lordy jesus, you don't need no instructions.. Git the college kid over here. Right, give me the shy freshman bit... good, okay, pretend you've never seen one before... you're so curious... you just have to reach and out and... oh, i think it's working... come one Henry, rise and shine, boy

I'm the wild man
The party's always where i am
I'm the scream hurled by that drunk girl
when midnight
I'm the sodomite
who makes everything all right
I'm the mad howl of you night out

I'm the craving and the action
I'm the strive for satisfaction
I'm the will to live, the passion
that will make you dance and scream

I'm the hunger thirst for more
that keeps the species moving forward
I'm the blood lust and the gorge
that survival itself needs

I'm the fire in the stove
of evolution don't you know
The species clawing upwards goes
because i'm there to scream and poke

When death is at your feet
I'm the beast you better feed
My greed exceeding to extremes
is the rebel scream you need

I'm the wild man
The party's always where i am
I'm the scream hurled by that drunk girl
when midnight
I'm the sodomite
who makes everything all right
I'm the mad howl of you night out

Evan who i loved, he broke my heart when he broke up
for Hurl filled him with disgust, and we couldn't ever touch
For if we held i might arise and change there before his eyes
and hurl would mock him and he'd cry and so he left me one long night

The town looked at me strange, a mix of fear and awe and shame
for hurls wanton and lewd ways i felt their constant furtive gaze
Locked inside my house i'd stay there cowering and id hide
while Hurl rattled deep inside the carnal cages of my mind

A 2 week bender gone astray i woke up in a strange new place
here in lost hallow where i stayed and keep my urges pressed away
I work my alchemy in a dank basement neath the street
where somewhere deep inside he sings and waits til next hes free
