Just Like Henry Darger

They're out torturing cowgirls

My brave and sweet Vivian girls

Behold

The lonely general

A caretaker

A very sorry saint

That keeps the troops in check

The children safe

And the word's apart

Oh now we won't let the soldiers in

We'll fight our way through

Word is they strangled Annie

What cruelty

It's unheard-of

From now, it is on God

Who get those guns

Overthrow those beasts

Now, watch out Glandelinia

Now we're at war

My sweet seven sisters

My way, I knew, full of grace

I keep my clothes in shape

I promise this

And my heart in place

I will save the world

I'll bring you peace

But you won't know

I can only fear the day that I find out

That there is but one way to live

There is only one way to live I will admit

And that is just like Henry Darger did

I can only fear the day that I find out

That there is but one way to live

There is only one way to live I will admit

And that is just like Henry Darger did

(But right then)

(In the moment of greatest despair)

(The Vivian girls sang their victorious song
