lyrics

Bacterium

Deep in the gut of a sightless beast
Can't bake no bread with my brewer's yeast
Can't make no mark but to mark time
Got a cold black heart in your white clime
Got a past in my baggage
Got a bent back
Got a full heart
Full of everything I lack
Got a Chinese hope
At the end of the world
To turn shit around
(...unintelligible)
Got a tense heat
In the core of my pain
Gotta manifest my demon
And spit in his brain
Gotta walk like Charlie Chaplin
Through a land of fear
Gonna live off paranoia
And Belgian beer

about

Pete Um Cambridge, UK

-Ergo Phizmiz
