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
