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 |
