Parasite Songtext

von Split Enz

It doesn't matter what the world may think
I'm owning up to everything
Yes I'm a parasite and I will cling
To anyone who wants a thing

I'm a parasite
All in a day's work for a parasite
It's hell on earth to be a parasite

I'm not bad looking, but I don't look good
It could be said, I'm too well fed
Yet there's an emptiness I can't deny
If you were I, I'd run and hide...

From the parasite
All in a day's work for a parasite
It's hell on earth to be a parasite

I'm in the lap of so-called luxury
But deep inside, the real victim bleeds
I feel nothing as I prepare to bite
No conscience break that wouldn't be right

Not for a parasite
Always a perfect guest, a parasite
Leaves without any mess, parasite
Secret of his success, parasite
Off to a new hostess, every night

Talking to a parasite
Parasite...
