Chapter Text
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
Freckle came up with a plan one day
Just to be with his cousin and play
What was he thinking anyway?
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
What's on your mind, Calvin McMurray?
Rocky's blue eyes and fur so gray
But he's bootlegging for Mrs. May
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
Don't let him lead you astray
Stay calm, close your eyes and pray
Lest he comes to take you away
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
What's on your mind, Calvin McMurray?
To share a bed with him and lay
To be with Rocky night and day
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
Try to keep those thoughts at bay
Don't let him lead you astray
Pray for those urges to go away
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
What's on your mind, Calvin McMurray?
Seeing Rocky's body shift and sway
His crescent smile and fur so gray
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
Don't let him lead you astray
Stay calm, close your eyes and pray
Lest he comes to take you away
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
What's on your mind, Calvin McMurray?
To have Rocky in bed without delay
Maybe then, I will have my way
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
Pray for those urges to go away
Don't let him lead you astray
Are you listening, Calvin McMurray?
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
Rocky was bootlegging for Mrs. May
Don't let your cousin lead you astray
It was too late, Freckle joined the fray
Stay calm, close your eyes and pray
Pray for those urges to go away
Don't let him lead you astray
Try to keep those thoughts at bay
Blue eyes, crescent smile, thick eyebrows
(Maybe I can watch one of his shows)
Orange tie, gray fur, large fangs
(Maybe it was the way he sang)
Slender frame, noodle arms, long legs
(Maybe I could wish him to break a leg)
Striped tail, gravelly tone, curved ears
(I'll go see him when the coast is clear)
Rocky took it in stride, a sashay
Ready to collect booze for Mrs. May
Blue eyes and striped fur so gray
It was time to seize the day
Try to keep those thoughts at bay
Stay calm, close your eyes and pray
Pray for those urges to go away
Don't let him lead you astray
What's on your mind, Calvin McMurray?
He recalled what Rocky told him that day
“What's lawful doesn't coincide with what's right.”
It was on that moment Freckle went astray
He strayed farther away from Heaven's light
Freckle went to Lackadaisy that fateful night
When the pig farmers came it was fight or flight
Freckle found a gun and left carnage along the way
Freckle descend from Heaven's light into hellfire
Right after he joined Lackadaisy as a new hire
He was tasked with using the gun at a crossfire
Even though deep down he had a dark desire
A memory resurfaced in Freckle's head
Back when he and Rocky used to share a bed
When they used to hold hands and play
He wanted Rocky to take him away
He fantasized about it, an embrace
Tails intertwining, a caress, a kiss
A touch below the waist, a blaze
A burning desire increasing, a hiss
Frustration, a pull, self-restraint
Forbidden, sinful, persistant
Fighting to keep those thoughts at bay
Trying to stop thinking about him all day
Craving for his touch, his breath
Freckle lowered his hand
Gravitating towards his own width
Despite that he had a girlfriend
His dirty mind went elsewhere
Before taking off his underwear
He thought of Rocky, completely bare
As he touched himself down there
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
Rocky got kidnapped one day
So Freckle pursued without delay
Those damn Marigolds were going to pay
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
Try as they might to get away
There is no escaping from Freckle McMurray
The bootleggers will get shot in disarray
Rocky Rickaby was held hostage
While he stood, tied to a support beam
Hips and wrists bound by tightened rope
Marigolds were flanked from door to door
Freckle McMurray went on a rampage
Shooting gangsters while blowing off steam
His cousin was alive, there was still hope
There was blood splattered on the floor
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
What are you doing, Freckle McMurray?
He dropped the gun and held his cousin
He hankered for a kiss, to feel Rocky's skin
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
“What are you doing, Freckle? Get away!”
But Freckle dove in and stole a kiss
(You don't know how much I wanted this.)
Freckle wanted it for so long
To have Rocky for himself, the taste of his lips
Rocky squirmed and bit Freckle's tongue
Drawing out blood as he watched it drip
Freckle stepped back and paused
The kiss, the adrenaline got him aroused
Freckle became driven with lust
What Rocky felt for him was disgust
Rocky was trapped, he couldn't escape
Betrayed by the one he used to trust
It was vile, disgusting, he committed rape
The bond they used to have was lost
Freckle became vile, sinister, wicked
His convoluted mind became more twisted
Rocky at one point screamed: “Begorrah!”
A sin so bad that destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
Freckle McMurray finally got his way
Rocky was bootlegging for Mrs. May
But that would change one day
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
What's on your mind, Rocky Rickaby?
I have to get away, I want to be free
I want to go back to Lackadaisy
What's the matter, Ivy? C'mon, put on a smile
I'll be in denial for at least a little while
She took the first step when Freckle ran a mile
She never thought that Freckle would be so vile
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
Something is wrong with Rocky Rickaby
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
Something is off with Freckle McMurray
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
Don't worry, I can set you free
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
There was more that she could see
Freckle was next to Rocky like white on rice
Little did Ivy knew she was in for a surprise
There was something amiss in Lackadaisy
Something is wrong with Rocky Rickaby
I'll be in denial for at least a little while
Don't worry about it, just let out a smile
There was more that she could clearly see
Something is wrong with Rocky Rickaby
Rocky started a fire in the kitchen
Then at the garage and at the bar
She confronted the manic musician
But this time Rocky went too far
He was sitting at the corner
Flipping pages of an album
Zib asked him: “What's the matter?”
Zib was drinking a bottle of rum
Too add another problem to the list
Rocky had ignored the saxophonist
Zib shrugged, then lit a cigarette
That's when Rocky saw his silhouette
What's the matter, Ivy? C'mon, put on a smile
I'll be in denial for at least a little while
Rocky wouldn't start a fire without a reason
So she went to talk to her boyfriend, Calvin
She took a step before Freckle ran a mile
I'll be in denial for at least a little while
There was more that she could clearly see
They're hiding something from me
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
She needed to talk to Freckle McMurray
But there was nothing he could say
What's wrong with the boys today?
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
She needed to talk to Rocky Rickaby
But there was nothing he could say
What's wrong with the boys today?
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
Something is wrong with Rocky Rickaby
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
Something is off with Freckle McMurray
They're hiding something from me
Ivy peeked through a spy hole
Hidden on the floor of Mitzi's office
She waited and had a look-see
Stealth as an underground mole
Minutes passed before she took notice
Freckle became vocal; Rocky became silent
The atmosphere changed in that moment
Freckle showed affection to his cousin
Rocky pushed him away in a quick motion
Ivy found it endearing at first
Until she saw Freckle did his worst
She watched Freckle nuzzle Rocky's neck
“Don't touch me. Don't. Touch. Me!”
Tugging, kissing, groping... what the heck?
That was something she wished to unsee
Rocky was a victim of sexual assault
She never thought Freckle could be so vile
Dealing with this situation was difficult
I'll be in denial for at least a little while
Dies Irae Dies Irae Dies Irae
Who was going to help Rocky?
Dies Irae Dies Irae Dies Irae
There had be somebody!
Dies Irae Dies Irae Dies Irae
Was this worth saving Lackadaisy?
Dies Irae Dies Irae Dies Irae
Was this worth Atlas' legacy?
The answer was obvious: No!
Freckle McMurray has got to go
She had no choice but to put on a smile
I'll be in denial for at least a little while
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
Rocky went missing one day
What have you done, McMurray?
(Oh, I got Zib out of the way)
On that night, Rocky went backstage to see Zib
The sax player recovered from a hangover
Before he noticed Rocky coming closer
The blue-eyed tabby confessed ad lib
Whether he saw him as a father figure
Or perhaps something more, he wasn't sure
There was a wry smile when Rocky said: “I love you.”
Zib nonchalantly replied: “I love you too.”
Zib suspected that something was out of place
He could tell just by looking at Rocky's face
The more Zib stared into Rocky's blue eyes
It was as if he was about to say goodbye
Rocky came closer and requested a hug
Zib extended his arms and complied
It was just a embrace as Rocky felt safe and snug
Then went a step further to give Zib a kiss, satisfied
For a moment, Rocky felt complete bliss
Though Zib was taken aback by the kiss
Then he relented and reciprocated
That was when Freckle wanted Zib eliminated
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
Zib didn't have a chance to get away
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
He got cornered by Freckle McMurray
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
He would be the last to see Zibowski
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
Don't worry, Zib. I can set you free
Dies Irae Dies Irae Dies Irae
Who was going to help Rocky?
Dies Irae Dies Irae Dies Irae
There had be somebody!
Dies Irae Dies Irae Dies Irae
Was this worth saving Lackadaisy?
Dies Irae Dies Irae Dies Irae
Was this worth Atlas' legacy?
The answer was obvious: No!
Freckle McMurray has got to go
She had no choice but to put on a smile
I'll be in denial for at least a little while
What's the matter, Ivy? C'mon, put on a smile
I'll be in denial for at least a little while
She took another step when Freckle ran a mile
She never thought that Freckle would be so vile
Dies Irae Dies Irae Dies Irae
Ivy had no choice but to stay
Dies Irae Dies Irae Dies Irae
She had to stop Calvin McMurray
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
There had to be another way
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
She had to warn Mitzi May
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
Ivy had no choice but to stay
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
She had to stop Calvin McMurray
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
There had to be another way
Dies Irae! Dies Irae! Dies Irae!
But Mitzi had nothing to say
Dies Irae Dies Irae Dies Irae
Who was going to help Rocky?
Dies Irae Dies Irae Dies Irae
There had be somebody!
Dies Irae Dies Irae Dies Irae
Was this worth saving Lackadaisy?
Dies Irae Dies Irae Dies Irae
Was this worth Atlas' legacy?
The answer was obvious: No!
