Menagerie

They found a boy in old Lahore

His heart was all torn out

All torn up

And his chest was all slit open

For a little while he was breathing still

People came from all around

To see what you had wrought

What had gone down

He was in so much pain

He had to be kept gagged and bound

His eyes were all cried out

Good too for he would have been sad to see

What had come to pass

And what had come to be

A menagerie

That is me

Some people they said he had drowned

In the tears that he’d cried alone

Others said he’d strangled himself

On the wires of his telephone

I just think that he was killed by loneliness

And was killed by your tone

Or your lack of tact

Oh so very matter of fact

Oh so let us be sensible now

Now don’t be a cow, cow

Bow Wow !

He was a dog chewing at the bit

His weakness was that he missed you

And he was killed by it.
