And I hid him underneath the mattress. I made myself a spider-child. And I put him in a matchbox. And I forged myself a golden statuette. And I wrapped him in a hello magazine. And I hid im in a wall safe. And finally I made myself a spade-girl. And I put her in a garden shed. All to protect myself you see. From the demon that was coming from the East. Or from the west. Then I sat on the rooftop and I waited. And when at last the demon came. From the East or from the West. And awoke me from my sleep. And awoke me to a particular point of view. And the needle-boy stuck him in the eye. And the money-man chocked him with coins. The spider-child bit him on the ankle. And the statuette crashed crashed down upon his head. And the spade-girl. buried him underneath the house. And I danced on the rooftops. And I danced on the rooftops. And I danced to the western world. And I danced to the western world
