this chain-link coat
this mesh of steel
the surrounding moat
I’m an electric eel
Don’t come too close
You’ll get a shock
600 volts
will stop a heart
A heart that’s been
Black as sin
Thick as waste
Sticky as a tube of toothpaste
Wires for veins
Gizzards for brains
If you’re looking for
a contribution
You’ll get it in the form
of electrocution
