Did you quote me?

A Nobody Quote

Tame as a baby
Crazy as her name
Insane as she howls in a frenzy
Shaking up the chains and ropes
Rusted as her head
Cold as her bones
As silent as she is
She still makes you cry

But there are some suckers
Boosting up their kids
Just a drop of cyanide
Then send them off to bed
There are some suckers
Without a clue
Colour of cotton candy
A deep-set blue

There are the artists
There are the killers
And the slaughter of the whole
Who ever said you could talk?
I’d really like to know.

You want to know something?
Maybe somewhat worthwhile?
Sit down and eat our lunches
Turn to channel five
Monster-movie magic
Keep our kids alive

Now turn down the tele
Scold them to the core
Who dared remind them more
Of something confusing and scary
Then the artists in a hole?

Burning with the witch
White for the ghosts
Red for the shame
Possession of the mind
A slash to the head
A whip of a kind
The killer in the movies
Was just a quick unwind

“You want to know something?
Do you like to get messed up?”
It donned over his head
He finally knew
But he’d never tell
The spirit in the furnace
Would quickly tell you
It’s as bad as it sounds
He simply told her
“This is insane”

She caught her tongue in the camera
Stealing the souls of five
He tried to leave calm
But mama wouldn’t have it
He spoke a nobody quote
She had to send him to a hell
