Skullduggery

An earwig crawled into my ear

Made a meal of the wax and hairs

Phoned friends, had an insect party

But all I could hear was the bass drum drum

All I could hear was the bass drum drum

Now if you put your ear close, you'll be able to hear

Not the seashore noise of the shore seashell

The clatter of plates and the bronze of the bell

Going ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong-dong

Goin' out of my mind as they hollow my head

I'm floating in the air, but my body's in bed

The more they eat, the more I see

What is not, but just could be

You can hear them laughin' in my head

You can hear them laughin' in my head

Ha, ha-ha, ha, ha

Now they've eaten my memory, I can't recall

How the world used to be before

So a vision is the same as what is real

Depends upon the lighting and how I feel

Ding-dong, drum, drum, ha, ha-ha, ha, ha

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, oh

And then the music stopped, the musician went away

They'd eaten all my brain, the red and the gray

They all stack at home, dug a tunnel through my nose

Where my brain used to be, now there's only a hole
