My Pet Demon

You may think my pet to be unlikeable
But really it isn’t too bad to own
It’s fed when i am fed at the table
And it's with me even when I’m alone

My pet demon isn’t always perfect
Because there is something he likes to do
I would like to be very specific
In telling my demon's hobby to you

Sometimes at night when I’m sleeping in bed
I have a feeling of horrible fright
My demon tells me, through thoughts in my head
That he's going to kill a man tonight

And then, when i finally gained control
I saw a helpless old man with no soul

And so that is why i am sitting here
In this stupid god damn electric chair
