The Animal that Desires

I am cursed with a strange delusion:
 I imagine myself to be
 The only creature in the world that desires
 And reproduces sexually
 And everybody else is an amoeba
 A tapeworm, a eunuch or virus
 (Nicholas, don't be so ridiculous, Nicholas)
 So I sit on the tube trying desperately to conceal
 This embarrassing anomaly
 This sin particular to me
 For I, uniquely, must carry the rose
 I, uniquely, have a cock beneath my clothes
 And dream uniquely lewd dreams in front of multiplex screens
 It's as though I (and I alone)
 Should be punished for the Universal Sin
 Which reminds me of someone
 But I am not like Him
 I am the only animal in the world that desires
 Wandering lost amidst cathedral spires
 Sacrificed on behalf of the general
 Possessor of an unruly genital
 Amongst the dead I beat my breast
 Proclaim my sinful proclivity
 For simply living outside captivity
 Sexually, as if I were unique, and the world uniquely unforgiving
 Somebody please understand me!
 Tell me you feel the same way!
 (Nicholas, don't be so ridiculous, Nicholas)
 So I sit on the bus trying furiously to conceal
 This inexplicable lust, this outlandishly physical zeal
 That, if I were to reveal, would seem simply surreal
 In your eyes when you realise
 I think differently from you
 Amidst the phallic towers
 Amidst the birds, the bees and flowers
 The people too
 It's as though I (and I alone)
 Should be punished for the Universal Sin
 Which reminds me of someone
 But I am not like Him
 I'm the only animal in the world that desires
 Being ushered towards my funeral pyre
 The example, the victim, the criminal
 Possessor of an unruly genital
 Won't someone understand me
 Help me bear the strain
 Say they feel the same way
 Say I'm not to blame
 Won't someone understand me
 Help me bear the strain
 Say they feel the same way
 Say I'm not to blame
 Won't someone understand me
 Help me bear the strain
 Say they feel the same way
 Say I'm not to blame
 Won't someone understand me
 Help me bear the strain
 Say they feel the same way
 Say I'm not to blame
 Won't someone understand me
 Help me bear the strain
 Say they feel the same way
 Say I'm not to blame
 Won't someone understand me
 Help me bear the strain
 Say they feel the same way
 Say I'm not to blame
 Won't someone understand me
 Help me bear the strain
 Say they feel the same way
 Say I'm not to blame
 Won't someone understand me
 Help me bear the strain
 Say they feel the same way
 Say I'm not to blame
 Won't someone understand me
 Help me bear the strain
 Say they feel the same way
 Say I'm not to blame
 Won't someone understand me
 Help me bear the strain
 Say they feel the same way
 Say I'm not to blame
 Won't someone understand me
 Help me bear the strain
 Say they feel the same way
 Say I'm not to blame
 Won't someone understand me
 Help me bear the strain
 Say they feel the same way
 Say I'm not to blame
