Tapeworm Songtext
von Peter Hammill

When I was a child they made me to read
But it made us quiver and squirm
Now, in the stumbling dark I see
I am a worm
Silently fruiting your garden
My sister, my child

Night comes, summoning a feeling
From the purity of my soul
I feel devilish feelings
I′m beginning to lose control
And the vortex sucks me in
Sinked in sin, I die
But am reborn

I want to see the cosmos split
Planets and moons collide
Feel gravity lose its grip
It's all inside
All of the dead hearts are scattered
My lifeblood, my world


Ripped apart in the Larder′s case
It's all shacked, thrown out and lost
Now I am making a face
Although I don't know what tape I′ve crossed
And it may be catastrophe
When I cross the line
I know that I will find myself
Or maybe you

I am a man from the country of destruction
I am a man, a woman, and a god
I am my own weapon of kamikaze
And will one day have good and evil not

Feed me, honey, and watch me writhe
Lying on your knife
If you let me, I can hypnotize
Your life
It′s all really so simple
My lover, my twin

Hand in hand, sprinting down the highway
Running over the edge
Down and down into a doomsday
There is no saving ledge
Nor out comes the crumb
Is this the way out in a blaze of glory?
Someday I'll find the answer
Someday I′ll end our story
