(Are you gonna let this in?)
How you gonna be a little lowlife?
Comprehend the menace of the minutes that are blowin' by
Swimming in the venom of a psyche that I don't like
And now we're done on the phone & done on the phone
I took a lot of venom to the palate, you know why
How you gonna be a little lowlife?
Underground, underground, live under the mantle
When I come around, come around, call up volcanos
When I come around, come around, blow out all the candles
And see what you're shown, you've seen it before
But never so truly, never so true as this
How you gonna be a little lowlife, lowlife?
Take a little middle out of home-life, home-life
Fallin' down the river, but you don't mind, don't mind
Would you visit your old life of muses and October bluets
If you were to loosen, be never alone & never alone
Like, good on your own & good on your own?
And like the tunnels of termites are known to the children of makers
I know but don't know you
We've said it before & said it before
But never so truly, never so true as this
(Are you gonna let this in?)
If you were never alone & never alone
And done with the phone & done with the phone
And making a show of making your own way up, up
How would that affect the mind-meld
That I'm looking for but cannot find?
I know but don't know you
We've said it before & said it before
But never so truly, never so true as this
How you gonna be a little lowlife, lowlife?
Take a little middle out of home-life, home-life
Fallin' down the river, but you don't mind, don't mind
