Take my hand, creature of comfort
leave your hibernacula, there's no snow
on the ground, or anywhere else I fear
Take my word, creature of comfort,
you're on your own now and mom's nowhere
to be found, and the time has drawn near
For you, creature of comfort,
to claim a stake in the earth of your own,
and to take all you're due
It's a chance, creature of comfort,
I'm selling you a chance to strike gold
Or are you a replicated,
untested and dead slab of painless stone?
Are you a peacemaker,
a thousand inconveniences under a rug?
Well, I'm a heatseeker
missle and I'm on course for your throat
Take my word, creature of comfort,
the light of day won't grace your eyes again
Not unless you plan to run, creature of comfort,
run from what you clutched tight when
the world could see you, or I might need you, to be more than a painless friend.
