Nick Drake - Parasite lyrics
Your rating:
Lifting the mask from a local clown, feeling down like him Seeing the light in a station bar and traveling far in sin Sailing downstairs to the northern line, watching the shine of his shoes Hearing the trials of the people there, who's to care if they lose? Take a look, you may see me on the ground For I am the parasite of this town Dancing a jig in a church with chimes, a sign of the times today Hearing no bell from a steeple tall, people all in dismay Falling so far on a silver spoon, making the moon for fun Changing a robe for a size too small, people all get hung Take a look, you might see me coming through For I am the parasite who travels two-by-two I'm lifting the mask from a local clown, feeling down like him And I'm seeing the light in a station bar and traveling far in sin And I'm sailing downstairs to the northern line, watching the shine of his shoes And hearing the trials of the people there, who's to care if they lose? Take a look, you might see me on the ground For I am the parasite of this town Take a look, you may see me in the dirt For I am the parasite who hangs from your skirt
