Nick Drake Parasite

Tekst piosenki

[Verse 1]
Lifting the mask from a local clown
Feeling down like him

Seeing the light in a station bar and
Traveling far in sin

Sailing downstairs to the northern line
Watching the shine of the shoes

Hearing the trials of the people there
Who’s to care if they lose?

[Chorus A]
Take a look you may see me on the ground
For I am the parasite of this town

[Verse 2]
Dancing a jig in a church with chimes
A sign of the times today

Hearing no bell from the steeple tall
People all in dismay

Falling so far on a silver spoon
Making the moon for fun

Changing a robe for a size too small
People all get hung

[Chorus B]
Take a look you may see me coming through
For I am the parasite who travels two by two

[Verse 1]
When I’m lifting the mask from a local clown
And feeling down like him

And I’m seeing the light in a station bar
And travelling far in sin

And I’m sailing downstairs to the northern line
Watching the shine of the shoes

And hearing the trials of the people there
Who’s to care if they lose?

[Chorus A]
Take a look you may see me on the ground
For I am the parasite of this town

[Outro]
Take a look you may see me in the dirt
For I am the parasite who hangs from your skirt
