lyrics

worm in my head
worm in my heart
the tick who loved me
tick after dark
but then i know you
i know you
i know who you are
there is a right 
and a wrong
and a hole in my heart
there is a hole in the ground
where we live in a jar
in a life black and white
that we wished on a star

the ring of love runs
round planet you
the fly who loved me
love love me do
but then I knew you
the true you
the you that you are
under lock under key
in a box in the dark
but then not really
the real me
the you that you aren't
died alone
skin and bone
in the trunk of your car

///

my journey through the past
i'm not confused it's a simian cast
goodbye to all of that
see the magpie in the river of sand

the water broke the wheel
the wheel broke me too
and you know how i feel
who is the god of love
ferried in the night
'cross the river of blood
