Something Bad

 


Something Bad

This is the next song in the possession album. In this song, the girl has made a shocking discovery, and she's getting ready to tell Timmy, Bobby, and Father O'Malley about it. But it's so bad that it's hard for her to spit it out.

An interesting fun-fact is as follows: the melody of the A phrase of this song came to me when I had that fever from the covid shot. There're a number of melodies that came to me in that fevered state.

The lyrics are:

She looks spooked, and we're worried
And those bears look sad and furry
She was once in a hurry
To the sun, but now her mind's blurry

She said she had something bad to tell us but she don't know where to start
It breaks our hearts
We are scared, but we all care, and we need to know just what this thing is
Just what it is

She has something revealing
And it gives us a scared feeling
We know that her mind's tortured
By some fact and we're not sure

She said she had something bad to tell us but she don't know where to start
It breaks our hearts
We are scared, but we all care, and we need to know just what this thing is
Just what it is

She looks like she has seen a ghost
All white like the Ivory coast
Eyes like saucers, it's a blank stare
Have we lost her? “No,” say the bears
Did she go to a séance where she got real chilled?
And her eyes are faucets with tears, they're filled
We are Timmy and Bobby and Father O'Malley
Did she sin? It's a problem if it gave her a malady

She has something she must tell
And she told us she's in Hell

She said she had something bad to tell us but she don't know where to start
It breaks our hearts

She has new information
She learned through the Bear Nation
They know history better
Than men who are of letters

Here's the alternative player thingy, just in case the one up at the top doesn't work when you try to play it:
