Intro: Verse: It slipped my mind And for a time I felt completely free Oh what a troubled Silent, poor boy A pawn into a queen I laugh now But later's not so easy I've gotta stop The will is strong But the flesh is weak Guess that's it I've made my bed And I'm lying in it Verse: I'm still hanging on Bird upon the wires I fall between the waves I avoid your gaze Pattern out of phase A pawn into a queen Chorus Outro But it's eating me up It's eating me up It's eating me up (If I could feel all the snakes on my heads) It's eating me up (If I could feel all my snails on my heads) It's eating me up (If I could feel all my snares and my nets)
