Cordyceps

Oh my darling won't you stay.
You seem so restless and itchy today.
Oh my love, I'll massage your antlers.

There's an absence in your eyes I've perceived.
And you seem so distant when answering me.
Oh my love, our queen won't be happy.

And there you go, off on your journey towards the sun.
I don't know what's gotten into you,
But I fear it's far from done.
But forgive me all my rambling, I'm droning on again.

Ooh my darling won't you eat.
I've brought you some food from a picnicking family.
Oooh my love, what will the colony think

Your movements've become rigid and solid and stiff.
It's almost like you're possessed it's almost as if,
Oooh my god, please not that fungus.

And there you go, off on your journey towards the sun.
I don't know what's gotten into you,
But I fear it's far from done.
But forgive me all my rambling, I'm droning on again.

So I'll pick you up.
Lift you away from home.
Look for the highest cliff,
And cast you off on your own.
I've loved you all my weeks.
I've loved you all my life.
But I'm very sorry baby,
This is goodbye.
