lyrics

King Slug

There’s a slug in this room and I can’t track it down
though I follow its greasy trail
There’s a slug in here and while I’m sleeping at night
it will make its way up my nose.
And crawl inside my skull, to devour what brain remains
After years and years of mental decline
it will devour what little I’ve left.

The silent killer is a brainless thriller that slowly strangulates
When least you expect its deathly grip it finally coagulates
Why am I genetically inferior to me genetic superior?
Follow my family history, but can’t quite track it down.

King slug, he’s in here! King slug, he’s in here!

I’ll be dreaming a dream a most glorious dream
of wonderful things to behold
Whilst king slug he is oozing schmoozing
my dream it will unfold.
I’ll wake with a scream from my glorious dream
and my wife says calm down dear
And I look at her and say I can’t calm down
because King Slug he’s in here.

King slug, he’s in here! King slug, he’s in here!
