When you were a little girl you were stung by a wasp
And the skin on your arm puffed up and went red
Yet you so loved that wasp and all of his brothers that

You
Brought the whole damn angry hive into your
Right into your bed


As a child you were riddled with ringworm
So your father cut them out of your skin

Then you felt so alone and remorseful
You tracked each little worm down and put them back in


Have you ever tried to neck with an earwig
Oh, your body is a home to your friends
You've a tick for each nipple and a leech for each finger

And a parasitic love that never ends

Do you have any love left for me

I'm small, but that's a start
Eat me up with your love
Burrow your way to my heart

Do you have any love left for me
I'm small, that's a start
Eat me up with your love, please

Burrow your way to my heart
