I've Got Leeches

I am a crab from the sea of black
And you're the barnacle on my back
Yeah, you're the tooth that I can't extract
I am the crow from the building juts
And you're the tinfoil in my guts
Yeah, no one struts like a blackbird struts
Yeah, no one struts like a blackbird struts
I've got leeches under my clothes
And I can't reach them
I've got leeches under my clothes
Nobody can see them
I've got leeches under my clothes
And ooh, they're achin'
As they suck the blood from our conversation
I used to go to school on Saturdays
The ladies told us God was in everything
But one of those ladies had to wear a wig
And then one week she was gone, and she didn't come back.
I've got leeches under my clothes
And I can't reach them
I've got leeches under my clothes
Nobody can see them
I've got leeches under my clothes
And ooh, they're achin'
As they suck the blood from our conversation
I've got leeches under my clothes
And I can't reach them
I've got leeches under my clothes
Nobody can see them
I've got leeches under my clothes
And ooh, they're achin'
As they suck the blood from our conversation
As they suck the blood from our conversation
As they suck the blood from our conversation
As they suck the blood from our conversation
From our conversation
From our conversation
Bottle depot man with thalidomide hands
Tells me that I'm looking like a right gentleman
He walked like a ghost in the halls up and down
In the hospital where they wear their paper gowns
Well, my hands are strong and 10 keys wide
But in my mother's body, I was lying on my side
My face came squished like my fallen pride
I came squished like a cartoon cat
I've got leeches under my clothes
And I can't reach them
I've got leeches under my clothes
Nobody can see them
I've got leeches under my clothes
And ooh, they're achin'
As they suck the blood from our conversation
I've got leeches under my clothes
And I can't reach them
I've got leeches under my clothes
Nobody can see them
I've got leeches under my clothes
And ooh, they're achin'
As they suck the blood from our conversation
I've got leeches
Oh, I've got leeches
I've got leeches (he's got leeches)
I've got leeches (he's got leeches)
As they suck the blood from our conversation
As they suck the blood from our conversation
From our conversation
