Tapeworm Lyrics - Hammill Peter

When I was a child they made me read 

word-daggers of quiver and squirm 

now in the stumbling dark I see I am 

a worm silently fruiting your garden 

my sister my child night casts ominous 

meanings on the purity of my soul 

I feel devilish leanings I'm beginning 

to lose control and the vortex sucks 

me in steeped in sin I die but am 

reborn. 

I want to see the cosmos slip planets 

and moons collide feel gravity lose 

its grip it's all inside all the dead 

husks are shattered my life-blood my 

world ripped apart in the laughter of 

space it's all chaff blown out and lost 

now I am making the pace although I 

don't know what tape I'll cross maybe 

catastrophe when I cross the line I 

know that I will find myself or maybe 

you 

Iamaman from the country of destruction 

Iamaman a woman and a god 

Iammyown weapon of kamikaze 

and will one day cut through the 

hiddenknot 

Feed me honey and watch me rise to the 

bait lying on the knife if you let me I 

can hypnotise your life it's all really 

so simple my lover my twin hand in hand 

sprinting down the highway running over 

the edge on and on into our doomsday 

there is no saving ledge nor outgrown 

shrub is this the way out in a blaze of 

glory some day I'll find the answer 

some day I'll end the 

story
