Doctor Doctor - Forgive Durden

Hahaha!

Spiders, c’mere!

Hahaha!

Who’s there?

Someone’s here!

Welcome to my humble abode

Please don’t mind the mess

Just nest yourself down comfortable

Let the doctor do the rest

Dear ghost, you look white as a sheet

Just have yourself a seat

Open wide and say «Ah»

Let the doctor take a peek

Now I must admit I knew you’d come

The boy and his love

Eloped to save her from disease

Wash your hands of her blood!

I don’t want to alarm you

But you certainly are ill!

Stricken with a sickness

Deadly enough to kill!

Even the strongest man

Would drop dead where he stands!

I urge that we make haste

If you are to stand a chance…

Spiders… scalpel!

Forceps!

Hope’s breath

Just a pinch, now, spiders, just a pinch

Hahaha!

That was too much!

Now what you got ain’t no quick fix

It ain’t no common cold

What you need’s a bona fide

Doctor’s miracle

Now the thing about miracles

Is that they don’t grow on trees

They don’t fall from the sky

You need a doctor like me!

It just ain’t easy…

Lucky for you, you found me!

So the rest should be no fuss

But before we get to savin' lives

There’s a few things to discuss

Now I’m sure you’re wonderin'

What’s in it for me?

Surely I would not perform

These miracles for free!

I’m not askin' for a lot

It won’t cost you a dime

I just want the princess here with me

Till the end of time!

(Hahaha!)

I promise to take care of her…

More rather, she’ll take care of me!

The rest of her life in the Dark, fulfilling

Doctor’s fantasies!

I can’t do this…

But you must, Princess!

Sign my life away…

It’s the only way!

Trust me, I know

How this must go!

Just do what the doctor says

He mixed elixirs and philters

Pried scrolls and read excerpts

He spoke in foreign phonetics

And read runes from ancient relics

Stirred ointments with potions

And unctions with doses

He whisked it until smoke rose

And seeped into her nose!

The illness had relinquished

The doctor had fixed it

The cleansing accomplished

Their love was free to flourish

But before it could sink in

The front door was kicked in!

Standing in its place was Pallis!

Driven by malice, he had barged in

To challenge Adakias!

To prove their love

Their word wouldn’t be enough

Pallis needed it in blood
