Byakhee, Byakhee

1 = Asenath

2 = Jill

B = Both

1 Byakhee, Byakhee, fly me through space

take me away, far from this place

Byakhee, Byakhee, what must I do

to go for a ride with you?

2 Byakhee, Byakhee, now heed my call

I've done the spells, I've done them all

Out of the Tartarean darkness appear

and fly me away from here

1 The boys we meet are so dreary

2 So boring and we both want a thrill

B We're really terribly weary

at least that's the theory, we're virgins still

As for real dating, we're both quite repressed;

boys here in town don't pass the test

We want to go on a dangerous spree,

yes we want to try Byakhee...

[spoken]

1 Jill, I had no idea you were so intrested in boys

2 Well sure, I'm about to graduate high school;

it's 1926, I'm a modern girl.

But I don't want just any boy; I'm looking for somebody... special

1 Sure. Aren't we all?

[sung]

2 Sister, dear sister, the boy that I want to find

is wild! Intense! he'll make me lose my mind

but still a nice man, a good man. Yes? Sure!

I want a man who's thrilling, who's deeper than the sea,

who's loyal and fulfilling - who's thrilled with me.

1 Sister, dear sister, your goals are a bit too high

men, my dear, are monsters; but please don't ask me why

There is no nice man, no good man; it's - true.

So if I must have monsters, I'm damned if I'll despair;

I'll summon up a real one - and go from there.

2 Wait, I hear a flapping sound...

1 Jill, there's something going on

Well, now, who would have guessed that my little black book is the book of E-ibon?

[windy sounds]

Byakhee, Byakhee, I hear your wings

2 I smell - a smell?

1 What are those... things?

B Byakhee, Byakhee, what have we done?

This suddenly isn't fun.

1 I don't know how to describe you;

2 To see you is a mind-blowing thing.

B Not moles, crows, nor ants are quite like you,

nor partially decomposed human beings

[Byakhee cry]

B Byakhee, Byakhee, now that you're here

I've changed my mind; I'm filled with fear

People who go with you don't reappear

So leave me alone, I'll stay at home

I will forget we ever met

I must not and won't recall.
