BLACK UNICORN
Music & Lyrics: Heather Alexander

I am he that knocks on your windowpane!
I am he that stalks the night!
I am he with silver shot through my mane!
You'll dream of me with fire eyes bright!
If you ever meet me standing there,
You'll wish that you were never born!
I'll seize your soul and strip it bare!
I am the black unicorn!

My horn is forged of silver fire!
My shoulders bear leatheren wings!
I am the nightmare of your own desire!
I am the song that the Devil sings!
Hellfire dancing in my eyes!
My coat is as black as coal!
Mortals are so quick to hypnotize,
And then, I merely take your soul!

Teeth sharp as daggers cooled in the snow,
And hooves that burn through the ground!
Follow me not where I lead you to go,
For then your soul will be Devil-bound!
There is but one who rides my back
And keeps his soul ever free!
His heart is cold and will not crack,
And he is as cursed as me!


WHITE UNICORN
Lyrics: Bob Kenefsky
Music: Heather Alexander

I am he that's stuck to your windowpane!
I am he that haunts your days!
I am he that maidens once sought in vain,
Long dead, and now the latest craze!
When you get letters from your friends,
Each page of them I will adorn!
My reign of cuteness never ends!
I am the white unicorn!

My horn of silvery tinsel is honed!
My shoulders bear butterfly wings!
I am the teddy bear you never owned!
I'm the song that the Smurf's all sing!
One look into my big brown eyes,
No deeper than a children's poem-
Adults are so quick to hypnotize!
You'll buy me and you'll take me home!

My coat is white as the purist snow!
My face is too cute to hide!
Prison me not in that box with a bow!
I'm scared! It may be dark inside!
Oh, what a cruel blow you have dealt!
You gave me to a child of three!
Her heart's too pure and will not melt!
And she is as cute as me!

I am he that's stuck to a candy-cane!
Off-white, and with a bright blue patch!
I am he with chocolate smeared through my mane!
By gosh! I think I met my match!
How could you leave me in her care,
So mistreated and forlorn!
Her grubby hands clenched in my hair!
One shabby white unicorn!
