 Lifting the mask from a local clown, feeling down like him
 Seeing the light in a station bar and travelling far in sin
 Sailing downstairs to the northern line, watching the shine of the shoes
 And hearing the trials of the people there
 Who's to care if they lose?
 
 Take a look you may see me on the ground
 For I am the parasite of this town
 
 Dancing a jig in a church with chimes, a sign of the times today
 And hearing no bell from a steeple tall, people all in dismay
 Falling so far on a silver spoon, making the moon for fun
 Changing a rope for a size too small, people all get hung
 
 Take a look you may see me coming through
 For I am the parasite who travels two by two
 
 But I'm lifting the mask from a local clown and feeling down again
 And I'm seeing the light in a station bar and travelling far in sin
 And I'm sailing downstairs to the northern line, watching the shine of 
 the shoes
 And hearing the trials of the people there
 Who's to care if they lose?
 
 Take a look you may see me on the ground
 For I am the parasite of this town
 And take a look you may see me on the dirt
 For I am the parasite who hangs from your skirt
 
 
 NOTE:  Just a fixing of the lyrics, since I have the Fruit Tree box set 
 lyrics now.
 (from Pink Moon, 1972)
