Float home to your mothers and fathers
Tell them the Pied Piper sends his deepest apologies
Send them my warmest regards
When my rats fill your gutters, you call me
And I call the pest man to gut them and get them
Downstream
I'll pay him to pipe down
The glory for gold
When I was young, you would sew my mouth shut
Between your teeth, there's a jack-in-the-box that I'd wind up
And when it went off
I'd jump down your throat to your spine
From the streets, they sang my name
They said, "Pied Piper, you have saved us"
These days, I go backwards and forwards alone
I will seal up the holes inside your brain
Through the seams of your skull, unsewn again
Then all my bones
In fever dreams
Escape my flesh
And rotting meat
A bag of bones
Comes sleepwalking
They look so real
They walk like me
Rats swim with your sons and your daughters
Tell them the Pied Piper sends his deepest apologies
Send them my warmest regards
