Parasite |
Lifting the mask from a local clown |
Feeling down like him |
Seeing the light in a station bar |
And travelling far in sin |
Sailing downstairs to the northern line |
Watching the shine of the shoes |
And hearing the trial of the people there |
Who’s to care if they lose? |
And take a look: you may see me on the ground |
For I am the parasite of this town |
Dancing a jig in a church with chimes |
A sign of the times today |
And hearing no bell from a steeple tall |
People all in dismay |
Falling so far on a silver spoon |
Making the moon for fun |
And changing a rope for a size too small |
People all get hung |
Take a look and see me coming through |
For I am the parasite who travels two by two |
Lifting the mask from a local clown |
And feeling down like him |
I’m seeing the light in a station bar |
And travelling far in sin |
And I’m sailing downstairs to the northern line |
Watching the shine of the shoes |
And hearing the trials of the people there |
Who’s to care if they lose? |
And take a look: you may see me on the ground |
For I am the parasite of this town |
And take a look: you may see me in the dirt |
I am the parasite who hangs from your skirt |
Mmmmm |
