Needles
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I cannot disguise
All the stomach pains
And the walking of the canes
When you, do come out
And you whisper up to me
In your life of tragedy
But I cannot grow
'Till you eat the last of me
Oh when will I be free
And you, a parasite
Just find another host
Just another fool to roast
'Cause you
My tapeworm tells me what to do
You
My tapeworm tells me where to go
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, hey
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, hey
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, hey
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, hey
I cannot deny
All the evil traits
And the filling of the crates
When you (you), do come out (out)
And you slither up to me
In your pimpin' majesty
But I cannot grow
'Till you eat the last of me
Oh when will I be free
And you, a parasite
Just find another host
Just another stool to post
'Cause you
My tapeworm tells me what to do
You
My tapeworm tells me where to go
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, hey
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, hey
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, hey
Pull the tapeworm out of me, out of me
I'm sitting in my room
With a needle in my hand
Just waiting for the tomb
Of some old dying man
Sitting in my room
With a needle in my hand
Just waiting for the tomb
Of some old dying man
You
My tapeworm tells me what to do
You
My tapeworm tells me where to go
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, hey
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, hey
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, hey
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
