La Belle Dame Sans Merci

ttto "Eleanor Rigby" (Lennon & McCartney)

Ah, look at all the moaning filkers.
Ah, look at all the moaning filkers.
Erica Neely,
Looking as sweet and as charming as Neil Gaiman's Death,
Drawing a breath,
Sings of destruction,
Misery, sorrow, depression, pain, anguish, and woe--
Why do we go?
All the moaning filkers,
Why do they come to hear?
All the moaning filkers,
What do they hold so dear?
Erica's mother
Sits in the audience smiling and twisting a curl,
Proud of her girl.
Look at her beaming,
Watching the listeners writhing in sheer agony...
Doesn't she see?
All the moaning filkers,
What do they come to hear?
All the moaning filkers,
What do they hold so dear?
Ah, look at all the moaning filkers.
Ah, look at all the moaning filkers.

Erica's list'ners
Lying all over the floor at the end of her set--
It's the best yet.
She and her mother
Sharing a kiss and a hug in their pleasure and pride:
Everyone died!
All the moaning filkers,
What do they come to hear?
All the moaning filkers,
What do they hold so dear?
