[Sung by Edward, or similar]

When you wake up

Yeah, you know I’m gonna be

The shadow in the corner watching over you

When you go out

Yeah, you know I’m gonna be

The hooded figure softly slinking after you.

If you get drunk

Yeah, you know I’m gonna be

The man who buys a bottle of absinthe for you

And if I haver

At the corner of the bar

The girl I call my snickle oodlekums is you.

And I would kill a hundred fish

And I would kill a hundred more

Just to be the man who killed two hundred fish

And left them at your door

When I’m working

Yeah, you know I’m gonna be

The man who sells illegal kidneys just for you

And when the money

Comes to me from Shady Fred

I’ll mug him for his cut and pass it on to you.

When you come home

Yeah, you know I’m gonna be

The one who euthanised your goldfish just for you

Did your dishes

Rearranged your DVDs

And drew a poem on the mirror just for you.

And I’d decapitate a pig

And I’d decapitate one more

Just to be the man who put two headless pigs

Outside your bedroom door…

[Edward, or similar, staked by Buffy: FINIS]

Merry Christmas!
