Lyrics

PARASITE

Baby, I'm more common than you'll ever believe
From Texas, Mississippi to the Evergreens
I've been to Asia via Russia, sailed the seven seas
I'm a pauper, high-roller, earthquake, summer breeze

I'm a parasite, I'll keep you up at night
I'll haunt your dreams
I'm a nematode, I can kill you
I can set you free

I'm a present Armageddon on the Fourth of July
I'm cold and creamy, toasty, I get down, I get high
I'm in every breath you take, every truth, every lie
Underground, upside down, in the clouds in the sky

I'm a parasite, I'll keep you up at night
I'll haunt your dreams
I'm a nematode, I can kill you
I can set you free

When everybody's gone baby, I'll still be here
You can map the constellations with my own atmosphere
I'm 90 of a hundred, I am love, I am fear
I'm a prophet, I'm a sailor, I'm a judge, I'm a queer

I'm a parasite, I'll keep you up at night
I'll haunt your dreams
I'm a nematode, I can kill you
I can set you free
I'll set you free, free, free free
