[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

Not a worry in

     
 the world
            
Neithеr heaven

       
 nor a hell
             
Back whеn life

rl
              
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

or a hell
             
Back when life

But now you've

the world
             
It's all so be

And now your o

And its pack c
