William Peter Blatty - The Excorcist III - Was I Raving? lyrics

Well, there I was so awfully dead in that electric chair. I didn't like it. Would you? It's upsetting. There was still so much k**ing to do, and there I was, in the void, without a body. But then along came, well, you know, my friend. One of them. Those others over there. The cruel ones, the Master. And he thought that my work should continue. But in this body, in this body in particular, in fact. Ooh, let's call it revenge. A certain matter of an exorcism, I think, in which your friend Father Karras expelled certain parties from the body of a child. Certain parties were not pleased, to say the least. To say the very least. And so, my friend, the Master, devised this pretty little scheme as a way of getting back, of creating a stumbling block, a scandal, a horror to the eyes of all men who seek faith, using the body of this saintly priest as an instrument of, well, you know - my work. But, the main thing is the torment of your friend Father Karras as he watches while I rip and cut and mutilate the innocent, his friends, and again, and again, and on and on! He is inside with us! He will never get away! His pain won't end! Oh, gracious me. Was I raving? Please forgive me. I'm mad...
