let me call a father / a vulture / let me say / i see vultures everywhere /
but none of them / are mine // let a father be a vulture / i am frightening /
let a father be a vulture / i am feeding // let a father be dead / instead of missing /
let a vulture be dead / instead of picking / at the entrails of a lost girl //
let lost girls never be lost again // are you there / God / it's me / the dark one /
i am sick and tired /of watching vultures / eat girls / who only wanted /
to hear them / sing.
