"The Worm" lyrics

"The Worm"

We're sitting on the wall
Expecting nobody to call
And there ain't no telephone
And we know we're all alone

Whoa oh
Look around behind your back
Here comes the worm
I guess he'll never learn

I'm a peaceful man at the best of times
Peaceful man
I got sad 'bout my baby
Drives me outta my mind, outta my mind

When I finish with the worm
They sure will lock me up inside

So my baby has to marry
Well that's the burden that I carry
So worm you'd better go
Cause I don't want the whole world to know

Whoa oh
Look around behind your back
Here comes the worm
I guess he'll never learn

You know, I'm a peaceful man but I've mislaid my cool
Peaceful man, that's what I am
And while I have a gut then I'm gonna beat you like a mule

When I finish with the worm
They sure will lock me up inside (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
