[Verse 1]
Parasite
All alone when
all is well
Not a worry in
the world
Not a heaven o
r a hell
When you world
is but a pear
l
Drifting in th
e endless sea
Living ignoran
ce was bliss
Your only purp
ose was to be
Until the day
it met a fish
[Chorus 1]
"What a sad pa
thetic life, m
y parasite...
my parasite
I can help you
live it right
and see the s
eas in the moo
nlight..."
So the fish ta
ught parasite
to swim
And parasite w
as amazed
By the sea and
sights within
Such a wonderf
ul place
[Verse 2]
Parasite
All alone when
all was well
Not a worry in
the world
Neithеr heaven
nor a hell
Back whеn life
was but a pea

But now you've
seen the mass
ive sea
And now your o
ld life seems
absurd
You said the f
ish was what y
ou need
Until the day
you met a bird
[Chorus 2]
"What a sad pa
thetic life. M
y parasite, my
parasite
I can help you
live it right
, through the
gift of flight
."
So the bird ta
ught parasite
to soar
And parasite w
as amazed
From the plain
s to grassy sh
ores
The world's a
wonderful plac

Parasite
All alone when
all was well
Not a worry in
the world
Not a heaven n
or a hell
Back when life
was but a pea
rl
But now you've
flown across
the world
It's all so be
autiful and co
ol
And now your o
ld life seems
absurd
Until the day
you met a wolf
{Chorus 3]
"What a sad pa
thetic life. M
y parasite, my
parasite
Without your f
riends to make
it right; wit
hout a wolf pa
ck to spend th
e night."
And so the wol
f howled to th
e sky
And its pack c
ame around the
bend and
The parasite,
it realized
The true meani
ng of friends
[Verse 4]
Parasite

The strength o
f friendship i
n the world
And now its ol
d life seemed
absurd
Then it met a
