Hold Me, Bat Boy

[00:13.61] In a cave many miles to the South
[00:17.93] Lives a boy born with fangs in his mouth
[00:21.49] Sleeping until the fading light
[00:23.77] Flying through bloody dreams
[00:26.05] When he awakes the summer night
[00:28.64] Is filled with screams
[00:31.31] You have heard he was born in the bogs
[00:35.85] That he feeds on the flies and the frogs
[00:39.40] You call him "beast" or "changeling"
[00:41.68] Or "demon chimpanzee"
[00:44.16] But we will prove he's no such thing
[00:46.58] He's much like me
[00:49.34] And me, oh!
[00:51.88] Hold me, Bat Boy
[00:54.22] Touch me, Bat Boy
[00:56.45] Help me through the night
[01:01.26] Love me, Bat Boy
[01:03.41] Save me, Bat Boy
[01:05.76] Make it all turn out all right
[01:14.45] He was dragged from his home and thrown down
[01:19.03] At the edge of a coal mining town
[01:22.68] They stripped him of his dignity
[01:24.74] They beat him like a gong
[01:27.19] And he was kicked repeatedly
[01:29.72] And that was wrong
[01:32.54] So wrong, oh!
[01:35.28] Hold the Bat Boy (won't you hold him?)
[01:37.65] Touch the Bat Boy (won't you touch him?)
[01:40.03] Bring him to the light (oh, bring him to the light)
[01:44.23] Love the Bat Boy (won't you love him?)
[01:46.58] Save the Bat Boy (somebody save him!)
[01:48.85] Make it all turn out all right
[01:57.55] Would no one defend him, protect him, befriend him?
[02:01.97] Would none hear his cry?
[02:03.62] Yeah, would none hear his cry, y'all
[02:06.51] Or would they detest him, arrest him, molest him?
[02:10.72] Or just let him die?
[02:13.34] You can't just stand by!
[02:15.46] He has suffered and now it's your turn
[02:19.62] You are here not to laugh but to learn
[02:23.62] Listen to his ungodly shriek
[02:25.94] Watch what we put him through
[02:28.21] Heed the tale of a filthy freak
[02:30.77] Who's just like you
[02:33.62] And you
[02:35.73] And you, oh!
[02:38.24] Hold me, Bat Boy
[02:39.58] Hold me, Bat Boy
[02:40.65] Touch me, Bat Boy
[02:41.79] Touch me, Bat Boy
[02:42.84] Won't you help me through the night?
[02:44.99] Make it all turn out all right
[02:47.17] Love me, Bat Boy
[02:48.28] Love me, Bat Boy
[02:49.38] Save me, Bat Boy
[02:50.50] Save me, Bat Boy
[02:51.63] I've been calling out your name
[02:53.97] Come and take away my shame
[02:56.06] Hold me, Bat Boy
[02:57.26] Hold me, Bat Boy
[02:58.21] Touch me, Bat Boy
[02:59.34] Touch me, Bat Boy
[03:00.42] Hear me cry when no one hears
[03:02.57] Won't you lick away my tears?
[03:04.81] Love me, Bat Boy
[03:05.95] Love me, Bat Boy
[03:07.18] Save me, Bat Boy
[03:08.23] Save me, Bat Boy
[03:09.29] Sink your fangs into my soul
[03:11.55] Only you can make me whole
[03:13.76] Hold me, Bat Boy
[03:16.11] Touch me, Bat Boy
[03:18.28] Hold me in your arms tonight!
[03:26.57]
