Don’t stand in the splash zone, don’t stump on my happy place.

The shoes you’re wearing are leaving marks

But we wouldn’t want to leave a trace.

Be careful around the edges, make sure your raincoat’s tight enough

If you stand too close, you might get chopped.

But if you leave, take blades and cuffs.

Stop! One more step and you might take a fall into the slash zone.

Nota bene: keep DNA on the body who owns it,

No foolproof plan is accident prone.

When you cut the throat, let it only mark the plastic wallpapers.

Your clothes should never be stained with the goo,

Your face shouldn’t be in tomorrow’s papers.

As you’re gouging the eyeballs, move in from the back and slice –

Don’t make it messy, don’t try to prove a point.

The feeling fades but an alibi’s nice.

And don’t stand in the splash zone, don’t give up our happy place.

Take the bags and the buckets, help me out.

We wouldn’t want to leave a trace.
