Occupational Hazard

[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
