Lyrics

Caterpillar

Spent the last three years asleep
A town called Misery
No-one seems to live here 'cept me obviously

Impatience on a postcard
All the parts of me that snarl and smirk
Easily find work on Mean Street

In a grand glass dagger
I'd grandstand and swagger
Until the boss lost interest in me

Testing
Testing
Testing
Testing

Man, I rarely move
Woman, I barely improve
And you can see for yourself
Pretty sure you need no proof

Not one single thing shakes
Nothing seems to take
And make no mistake
Clearly not nearly as funny as I used to be
No time, no money, no energy

Testing
Testing
Testing
Testing

How easy would it be to kill a stranger?
Quick, just picture Jesus in a manger
Ah

A half moon blew holes
Spun me out of control
Christ, leave me in peace
Return to your pitiful nursery

Kill me, kill me, kill me
Killer offer me relief
Caterpillar eatin' all my leaves
Gosh, life is a drag
Quit yanking my leash
Cater to me

Kill me, kill me, kill me
Killer offer me relief
Caterpillar eatin' all my leaves
Gosh, life is a drag
Quit yanking my leash
Cater to me like you would royalty

Testing
Testing
Testing
Testing

How easy would it be to kill a stranger?
Quick sharp, picture Jesus in a manger
Ah

Testing
Testing
Testing
Testing
Testing
Testing
Testing
So testing
So testing
Testing me
