No vacancy



how dare you knock on my door
i told you times before

theres no room for you at my table

not man nor are you beast

 theres no room for you at my table

to fill the world with scorn

 theres no room for you at my table

for the last time i will say
you may hiss but slither away

 theres no room for you at my table
