Lyrics

she'll always be there trying to grab a hold
she thought she knew me, but she didn't know
that i was sad and wanted her to go-o

parasite lady, parasite eyes
parasite lady, no need to cry

i didn't want to have to get away
i told her things i didn't want to say
i'm in her bed i'll hope she'll understand-and

parasite lady, parasite eyes
parasite lady, no need to cry

SOLO

parasite lady, parasite eyes
parasite lady, no need to cry
