[Verse 1]
I'm an occupational hazard
I must warn you before we begin
I'm like a tick waiting in the treetops
At the right point I'm under your skin
[Refrain]
Don't let me dampen your mood
Don't let me cramp up your style
Don't let me trample your dreams
My milk of kindness is slim
My shining light has grown dim
My envy's evergreen
[Verse 2]
I'm an occupational hazard
Got you begging for the dearest of life
I survive all the disasters
Whilst everyone around me dies
[Refrain]
Don't let me cramp up your style
Don't let me dampen your mood
Don't let me trample your dreams
My milk of kindness is slim
My shining light has grown dim
My envy's evergreen
[Chorus]
You see the danger in yourself
You don't know where the evil came from
You fear the danger is yourself
And you can't see where it begins or where it ends
[Verse 3]
I'm an occupational hazard
I be the mildew on your soul
You watch it darken the corners
And it's there until you're helpless and old
[Refrain]
Don't let me cramp up your style
Don't let me dampen your mood
Don't let me trample your dreams
My milk of kindness is slim
My shining light has grown dim
My envy's evergreen
[Chorus]
You see the danger in yourself
You don't know where the evil came from
You fear the danger is yourself
And you can't see where it begins or where it ends
[Outro]
You'll never know how much I need you
You'll never know how much I care
You'll never know how much I need you
You'll never know how much I care
You'll never know how much I need you (I'm an occupational hazard)
You'll never know how much I care
You'll never know how much I need you (I'm an occupational hazard)
You'll never know how much I care
