An earwig crawled into my ear* |
|
Made a meal of the wax and hairs |
|
Phoned friends, had an insect party |
|
But all I could hear was the bass drum drum |
|
All I could hear was the bass drum drum |
|
Now if you put your ear close you'll be able to hear |
|
Not the sea shore noise of the shore sea shell |
|
The clatter of plates |
|
And the bronze of the bell |
|
Going ding dong, ding dong, ding dong dong |
|
Going out of my mind as they hollow my head |
|
I'm floating in the air, but my body's in bed |
|
The more they eat, the more I see |
|
What is not, but just could be |
|
You can hear them laughing in my head |
|
You can hear them laughing in my head |
|
Ha ha ha ha ha |
|
Now they've eaten my memory, I can't recall |
|
How the world used to be before |
|
So a vision is the same as what is real |
|
Depends upon the lighting, and how I feel |
|
Ding dong, drum drum, ha ha ha ha ha |
|
And then the music stopped |
|
The musician went away |
|
They'd eaten all my brain |
|
The red and the gray |
|
They all staggered home |
|
Down a tunnel through my nose |
|
Where my brain used to be |
|
Now there's only a hole |
