Lyrics

Amoeba

The first bite is always breads
Let 'em all drive
Nine hours each way
Just to lay down and die
Like a headbutt that shows up and melts my mind
Then never happens again

She is a service provider
I am an amoeba in the water

We're all just waiting around
For you to wake up and let us all down

Buy for a nickel, and sell for a dime
I remember where I was at the time
All sewn up and sold as a choice
On with the power, and out came the voice

I'm stuck in England's teeth
And I'm watching you go
Some lives boil down to seven seconds or so
And I'm just trying to get drunk before you do

We're all just waiting around
For you to wake up and let us all down

Buy for a nickel, and sell for a dime
I remember where I was at the time
All sewn up and sold as a choice
On with the power, and out came the voice

I am the first unnecessary man in space
When I fall, the earth will shake
When I die, I sure hope it hurts
