Edsel - Perched Like A Parasite Lyrics

I folded the paper
I finished my coffee
I listened to my watch tick

I was done with the TV
I was done with the valley
I wanted to walk out with my palms down

I prayed for an answer
In the shape of a scorecard
Within arms reach of my armchair

I needed a vision
A point of direction
Some assistance to get things started

Gotta get things moving
Into regions of reason
Speckled and soft
Bitter from the first bite
Like a legion of leeches
It was bitter from the first bite

I am perched like a parasite
On the back of a cynic's bite
I explode like a broken bulb
Without grace and without warning
I am perched like a parasite
I explode without warning
