"Worms On Tarmac" lyrics

SOFT PLAY Lyrics

"Worms On Tarmac"

I'm the underrated
Under appreciated
Frequently amputated
And then regenerated
Ruler of the underground
Call me Earthworm Jim
I'm sensing through receptors, man, I'm breathing through my skin

No lungs
Don't need 'em
I eat mud
I taste freedom
I'm the worldwide celebrity cylindrical dude
That's my mood, why you always tryna fuck it up for me?
I been on this planet longer than you, bruv

Worms on tarmac
Worms on tarmac
In the rain
In the rain, in the rain
Looking for a feeling
Looking for a feeling
We can't explain

I was doing my thing when you apes were just little fishes
I was doing my thing before the dinosaurs existed
Best believe I'm parasitic, abundant and diverse
I kept doing my thing when meteors showered the Earth
My brain and body aren't equipped for your manmade landscapes
These artificial stones are impermeable
It burns when I crawl
What fuck am I supposed to do with a road or a pavement or a curb or a wall?

I get stranded, and none of you fuckers think to lend a helping hand
Pick me up, drop me on some soggy land
Where I can be who I'm supposed to be
The OG terrestrial invertebrate, yeah, that's right you heard me, mate
I should be wriggling, giggling, chewing, and nibbling
But now I'm stuck in the sun and I'm sizzling
I was just meant to be visiting but now I cannot get out of this puddle I'm sitting in
Shit, here comes a dog
I think he's seen me
Oh my god

Worms on tarmac
Worms on tarmac
In the rain
In the rain, in the rain
Looking for a feeling
Looking for a feeling
We can't explain
We can't explain

Then we get stuck there
Then we get stuck there
It's not the one
Not the one, not the one
Worms on tarmac
Worms on tarmac
In the sun
Oh, shit
