William Cowper, go away
And haunt me no longer
William Cowper, day by day
Your powers get stronger
Am I the singer of the song
Or the singing of the songer?
There are demons in the night
Hungry and thirsty
I’m not feeling quite alright
William Cowper has cursed me
And I do not know what could
Any fate that’s worse be
Predestination and freewill
Fighting in my skull
My mind is a ghost ship
And something’s bashed the hull
William Cowper’s at the wheel
All my colors have turned dull
William Cowper, go away!
William Cowper, go away!
William Cowper, go away!
William Cowper, go away!
