Worm

Worm - Penelope Houston

Now I'm lower than a worm on a rainy day

Trying to slip across the lanes of your big highway

I feel lower than the moss growing in the crack

That you've got to step across break your mother's back

Now I'm lower than the dirt underneath your shoe

It only doubles up the hurt because I know it's true

You used to make me feel high

You used to make me feel high

Like a child inside

So incredibly high

Now I'm harder than the rock by a prison gang

That you use to break the lock of your ball and chain

Now I'm harder than the glass in your diamond ring

If it wasn't made to last it don't mean a thing

Now I'm harder than a stone at the break of day

I would rather be alone than to feel this way

You used to make me feel soft

You used to make me feel soft

In your arms I would rock

Like a baby I fall

I feel colder than the sleet on the window pane

When you're thirty thousand feet in your aeroplane

Now I'm colder than the tide on a winter's night

You keep shoving me aside until the morning light

I feel colder than a joint in your frigidaire

I bet you had to scrape the sides to fit my heart in there

You used to make me feel hot

You used to make me feel hot

And all the love that you got

It used to make me so hot

Now I'm lower than a worm now I'm harder than a rock

Now I'm colder than the ice on your freezing cold cock

Now I'm meaner than a dog now I'm blackened by the night

You don't even say my name unless you want to fight

You used to make me feel high

You used to make me feel high

Like a child inside

So incredibly high

You used to make me feel high

You used to make me feel high

You used to make me feel high

You used to make me feel high

You used to make me feel high

You used to make me feel

You used to make me feel

You used to make me feel
