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”
