Ticks And Leeches

(album: Lateralus - 2001)

Suck and suck
Sucking up all you can
Sucking up all you can suck
Working up under my patience like a little tick
Fat little parasite

Suck me dry
My friend, bruised and borrowed
You thieving bastards
You have turned my blood cold and bitter
Beat my compassion black and blue

Hope this is what you wanted
Hope this is what you had in mind
'Cause this is what you're getting
I hope you're choking. I hope you choke on this

Taken all I can, taken all I can, fucking take
Taken all you can, taken all you can fucking take
Got nothing left to give to you

Blood-sucking parasitic little tick
Blood-sucking parasitic little tick
Blood-sucking parasitic little tick
Take what you want and then go

Hope this is what you wanted
Hope this is what you had in mind
'Cause this is what you're getting

Suck me dry suck
Suck me dry suck
Suck me dry suck
Suck me dry

Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you had in mind?
Is this what you wanted?
'Cause this this is what you're getting
I hope, I hope, I hope you choke
