Gregor Samsa

I've got a friend who's turned into a cockroach
I'm his only friend who's stuck around
All his other friends are calling Gregor vermin
I see the silver in the cloud

Come here dear lovely Gregor Samsa
I'll stay near whatever you are

You turned into a cockroach
That doesn't disgust me
What kind of friend would that freak out?
Come rain or shine, we will still be besties
Don't let the haters infest you with doubt

Come here dear lovely Gregor Samsa
I'll stay near whatever you are

We used to double-date and I was always wingman
I ended up with the ugliest girl
But now you're an insect I get the pretty one
You've got the wings, I'm going up in the world

Come here dear lovely Gregor Samsa
I'll stay near whatever you are

Let's settle on a nettle, gobble at a dock leaf
Scuttle on a ceiling or nibble a cloth

Come here dear lovely Gregor Samsa
I'll stay near whatever you are

We are two insects, tiny little ponies
I took the plunge to double the fun
And in my opinion your other friends are phonies
Like your family they've let you down

Come here dear lovely Gregor Samsa
I'll stay near whatever you are
