Ellison’s Story/Рассказ Эллисона

My eyes wide open  

My body’s made from jelly  

Looks like a maggot  

Have no friends  

All my friends were killed by me  

I have no mouth to scream  

I have no chance to die  

Became immortal, but I wanna die  

Tortured for one hundred and nine years  

This fucking AM  

This godlike Allied Mastercomputer  

This crazy Adaptive Manipulator  

This stupid Aggressive Menace  

It gave us a new game  

A new game of bursting eyeballs  

And spilling giblets  

And the smell of rotting gardenias  

A tribe of pathetic savages for Benny  

A deserted airship over a dead desert for Gorrister  

The Nazi concentration Camp for Nimdok  

A strange Egyptian pyramid for Ellen  

A gloomy medieval castle for me,  

For Ted  

We won in this game  

But after all I decided to kill ‘em all  

Put them out of their misery  

But this machine, this fucking computer  

It returned me to this jelly creature  

To this immortal maggot  

To this maggot without mouth  

But I must scream!  

I have no mouth, but I must scream!  

But I can’t…
