Army Ants Lyrics

Cover art for Army Ants lyrics by Tom Waits

Killer sting in the tail. See these creepy bugs? Well, humans are worse! I think a lot of this is true & some (like the scorpion) is myth. Certainly ants do keep slaves, praying mantises have downright peculiar mating habits & some insects lay eggs in the (living) bodies of other insects so the larvae will have meat on the hoof when they hatch. Charming! And don't we all know people like that?
