[E] [E]
Lifting the mask from a local clown, feeling down like him.
Seeing the light in a station bar and traveling far and sin.
Sailing downstairs to the Northern Line, watching the shine of the shoes.
Hearing the trials of the people there, who's to care if they lose.
[F] Take a look, you may see me on the [E] ground.
[F] For I am the parasite of this [E] town.
Dancing a jig in [B] church with chimes, a sign of the times today.
Hearing no bell from a steeple-toe, people are in dismay.
Falling so far on a silver spoon, making the moon for fun.
Changing a rope for a size too small, people all get hung.
[F] Take a look, you may see me coming
[Em] [E] through.
[F] For I am the parasite who travels two by [E] two.
Lifting the mask from a local clown, feeling down like him.
Seeing the light in a station bar and traveling far and sin.
Sailing downstairs to the Northern Line, watching the shine of the shoes.
Hearing the trials of the people there, who's to care if they lose.
[F] Take a look, you may see me on [E] the ground.
[F] For I am the parasite of
[E] this town.
[F] Take a look, you may see me [E] in the dirt.
[F] For I am the parasite who hangs from your [E] skirt.
