Ah fed vixo on ev'ry fear 'n' fret 'n' phobia
Til it nor ah could stand the strain no longer
Sucked a chicken bone, tossed it in the corner
Raisin up like lazaurs, up, up from its cot
An making for the door, now
Infant-prodigy creates a phantom-friend, yeag
Stickin' sack an ol' jack-jack into its itchin-ten
Oh! don't ya linger! ooh! don't ya linger, now,
Mah monster-piectmah perfect-murder-machine
Don't ya linger, for ah can feel mah youth slipping outa me
Yeah, ah can feel mah youth slip outa me

Call it, call it vixo call it vee
Ah all it, an it comes to me
Call it vixo call it me
March headlong into the heart of fear
Ah will follow thee
What kept ya? whaa? what kept ya?
You get trouble? sum'n go wrong?
Vixo grinning, climbs up into mah lil boy arms
What you get?
Tell me, what ya gone 'n' brung me from the hollow?
Yeah! we're laughin'but our laughter is shallow
Ain't it funnymy childhood name is sorrow
Vixo sighs, 'n' lays its head upon mah pillow
Call it call it vixo call it vee
Call it, an it comes to me
Veeahhexoh-oh, come crawl with me
Into the dark heart of despair
Ah will not forsake thee
Listeninstruction!
Ditch it, pitch it now hitch it up along the ridge
Ya laughin b'neath the sherriff's wheels
That go screamin cross hooper bridge
Skirt the out-skirts up mah back-stair ya sack all undone
Don't touch nothin! water runnin in the tu
Get there! and scrub ev'ry one

When ya struck ya struck!
Ya struck a thousand crickets dum
Hooper-hollow iced over then, all hush, hush
In the cool midday sun
Hush! ah say hush! hu-u-u-ush!
Sittin on the roof, laugh at mahself
As they rope off the woods
Watchin' all the good-people
Go beating the bush
