Bye, Bye Missy

by My Dying Bride

Tea time Monday night, I was waiting
passing time
Then from the hallway, I saw Mother
in her nightgown
Swaying up the stairs, up the stairs, it
seemed so unreal
I knew Grandma' had sent THEM
again, the invisible friends
A little later in the middle of tea we
came close to ecstasy
THEY were telling tales from
beyond when Grandma' rose
She opened the door, and there was
Missy
Seeing Mother in Grandmother's
chair, she went into tears
Missy was screaming
What have You done, what have you
done to My Ma, crying louder now
We better get rid of her, She's too
young anyway, it was Grandma' who
spoke
Bye, bye Missy, be gone forever
The beautiful fireplace in the kitchen
will do
I saw Missy struggling in Grandma'
wrinkled hands
Oh No, let me be, Oh No Please No
Grandma' Please
Aagh Grandma' You're hurting me.
Don't touch me or I'll break it, I've got
the tea pot, I'll do it anyway
I saw liquid spreading, the bloody tea
all over the floor
Now I heard THEIR voices, some
kind of demon growls
DIE - SHE BROKE AMON - AMON - DIE
THEY dropped THEIR tea cups,
Grandma' stood still
forced by invisible hands, Missy went
down the stairs
As I waved her goodbye, Missy was
sobbing away
Will I ever see her again, Bye bye
Missy, don't be afraid
