It slipped my mind And for a time I felt completely free Oh what a troubled Silent, poor boy A pawn into a queen I laugh now But later is not so easy I've gotta stop The will is strong But the flesh is weak I guess that's it I've made my bed And I'm lying in it I'm still hanging on Bird upon the wires I fall between the waves I avoid your gaze I turn out of phase A pawn into a queen I laugh now, But later is not so easy I've gotta stop The will is strong But the flesh is weak I guess that's it I've made my bed And I'm lying in it But it's eating me up But it's eating me up It's eating me up (If I could feel all the snakes on my heads) It's eating me up (If I could feel all my snails on my heads) It's eating me up (If I could feel all my snares on my head)
