Please, mother please! I can't find my way out!
It's all I can do, to manage a shout.
Though I sit still, my thoughts whirl about.

Mother, oh mother! There's spies in this house!
They're black as a shadow, quick as a mouse,
They steal the secrets right out of my mouth.

Please, mother please! Soothe my troubles to sleep.
They hide in the places I dare not creep;
In the chasms and the cracks running deep.

Mother, oh mother! I'm loosing again!
I'll relish the taint and wallow in sin;
Then I'll return to the creature I've been.

Please, mother please! Why won't you rescue me?
I call out to you from my bended knee:
"Please, mother please! I just want to be free!"
