Laika - Bedbugs lyrics

rate me

It's gonna

Swallow me whole

The ground'll open up

And in I'll fall

Down down down

Mama set me up with a fine young thing

And he was gonna buy me everything

But he grabbed the hook

And took out for deep water

And pretty soon that fish

He pulled me in

It's gonna

Follow me home

Somewhere in the shadows there's a place for me

In the cold cold ground

Trouble's right behind me

There's hard times ahead

The devil's got his hammer

He's poundin' on my bed

Lost most my money

I'm on my last hand

I'm knockin' at hell's door with no weapon and no plan

Feelin' kinda timid like an egg without a shell

But if I've been just bluffing

I ain't gonna tell

It's gonna

Swallow me whole

The ground'll open up

And in I'll fall

Papa set me up

With a sharp-eyed boy

And I was gonna have him

For my toy

But he stole my heart

And took out for deep water

And pretty soon that shark

He pulled me in

Sky's full of lightening

The wind's spitting sand

Sun burning oh so hot it gave the earth a tan

The fish have all stopped jumping

The bedbugs are asleep

I'll lay myself beside you and pray my soul to keep

I wish I had a needle

As fine as I could sew

I'd stitch my baby to my side and down the road we'd go

My shovel struck sorrow

And the tears came running down

My shovel struck sorrow

And the tears came running down

My shovel struck sorrow

And the tears came running down

My shovel struck sorrow

And the tears came running down

Little fishes in the brook

Papa catch them with a hook

Brother clean it like a man

Mama fry it in the pan
