Hold Me, Bat Boy

In a cave many miles to the South
 Lives a boy born with fangs in his mouth
 Sleeping until the fading light
 Flying through bloody dreams
 When he awakes the summer night
 Is filled with screams
 You have heard he was born in the bogs
 That he feeds on the flies and the frogs
 You call him "beast" or "changeling"
 Or "demon chimpanzee"
 But we will prove he's no such thing
 He's much like me
 And me, oh!
 Hold me, Bat Boy
 Touch me, Bat Boy
 Help me through the night
 Love me, Bat Boy
 Save me, Bat Boy
 Make it all turn out all right
 He was dragged from his home and thrown down
 At the edge of a coal mining town
 They stripped him of his dignity
 They beat him like a gong
 And he was kicked repeatedly
 And that was wrong
 So wrong, oh!
 Hold the Bat Boy (won't you hold him?)
 Touch the Bat Boy (won't you touch him?)
 Bring him to the light (oh, bring him to the light)
 Love the Bat Boy (won't you love him?)
 Save the Bat Boy (somebody save him!)
 Make it all turn out all right
 Would no one defend him, protect him, befriend him?
 Would none hear his cry?
 Yeah, would none hear his cry, y'all
 Or would they detest him, arrest him, molest him?
 Or just let him die?
 You can't just stand by!
 He has suffered and now it's your turn
 You are here not to laugh but to learn
 Listen to his ungodly shriek
 Watch what we put him through
 Heed the tale of a filthy freak
 Who's just like you
 And you
 And you, oh!
 Hold me, Bat Boy
 Hold me, Bat Boy
 Touch me, Bat Boy
 Touch me, Bat Boy
 Won't you help me through the night?
 Make it all turn out all right
 Love me, Bat Boy
 Love me, Bat Boy
 Save me, Bat Boy
 Save me, Bat Boy
 I've been calling out your name
 Come and take away my shame
 Hold me, Bat Boy
 Hold me, Bat Boy
 Touch me, Bat Boy
 Touch me, Bat Boy
 Hear me cry when no one hears
 Won't you lick away my tears?
 Love me, Bat Boy
 Love me, Bat Boy
 Save me, Bat Boy
 Save me, Bat Boy
 Sink your fangs into my soul
 Only you can make me whole
 Hold me, Bat Boy
 Touch me, Bat Boy
 Hold me in your arms tonight!
