do the parasite

The Black Crowes

Sharing fleas and hotel keys
May the sacrifice to the gods of sleep
Said, won t you wake me up for sweet release?
Be sure not to disturb the beast

I m down again, wearing thin out on the rails again
Then listen to me scream
I said, down the drain like the pain
Don t tell me you are sane
Listen to me scream

Everybody s doing the parasite
Said, all the young villains and thieves
Talk is cheap, revenge is in
I got an ace hidden up my sleeve
Yes, I do

Said dry your tears and draw your knife
Well, it s eye for eye and strife for strife
Bread and circus, lies and wine
A dandy dresses to the nines
That s right

Down again, wearing thin out on the rails again
Listen to me scream
Down the drain like the pain, don t tell me you are sane
Listen to me scream
I said, listen to me scream

Everybody s doing the parasite
Said, all the young villains and thieves
The talk is cheap, and revenge is in
An ace up my sleeve
Yeah, yeah, everybody s doing the parasite
Huh, said, do you know what I mean?
Hit the door when the lights go out
Forget about what you ve seen

Yeah, get down

Yeah, I said, everybody s doing the parasite
Said, all the young villains and thieves
I said talk is cheap, revenge is in
There s an ace up my sleeve
I said, everybody s doing the parasite
Oh, do you know what I mean?
I said, hit the door when the lights go out
Forget about what you ve seen

Huh, yeah, don t ask me
Yeah, cause I ain t seen nothing
