a merry funeral pyre

i put a blanket around my heart
it's thick
like your face
and sticky
like paste
and i put it on tight
it'll be there all night
the blanket around my heart

into the woods i go
they're dark
like your face
and sticky
like paste
and the branches are tight
i'll be there all night
into the woods i go

hedgehogs dance round the fire
the little one sings
what a sad joy she brings
flames lick low boughs
it's a forest fire now
hedgehogs dance round the fire
