An earwig crawled into my ear   Made a meal of the wax and hairs   Phoned friends, had an insect party   But all I could hear was the bass drum drum   All I could hear was the bass drum drum      Now if you put your ear close you'll be able to hear   Not the sea shore noise of the shore sea shell   The clatter of plates   And the bronze of the bell   Going ding dong, ding dong, ding dong dong      Going out of my mind as they hollow my head   I'm floating in the air, but my body's in bed   The more they eat, the more I see   What is not, but just could be   You can hear them laughing in my head   You can hear them laughing in my head   Ha ha ha ha ha      Now they've eaten my memory, I can't recall   How the world used to be before   So a vision is the same as what is real   Depends upon the lighting, and how I feel   Ding dong, drum drum, ha ha ha ha ha      And then the music stopped   The musician went away   They'd eaten all my brain   The red and the grey      They all stack at home   Dug a tongue through my nose   Where my brain used to be   Now there's only a hole
