Lyrics

Parasite [Alive!]

[Verse 1]

She'll always be there trying to grab a hold

She thought she knew me, but she didn't know

That I was sad and wanted her to go, oh

[Chorus]

Parasite lady

Parasite eyes

Parasite lady

No need to cry

[Verse 2]

I didn't really wanna have to get away

I told her things I didn't wanna say

I need her, and I hope she'll understand, yeah

[Chorus]

Parasite lady

Parasite eyes

Parasite lady

No need to cry

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]

Parasite lady

Parasite eyes

Parasite lady

No need to cry
