Ace is rumored to have also played bass on the recording of this song.
[Verse 1]
She'll always be there trying to grab a hold
She thought she knew me, but she didn't know
That I was sad and wanted her to go
[Chorus]
Parasite lady
Parasite eyes
Parasite lady
No need to cry
[Verse 2]
I didn't wanna have to get away
I told her things I didn't wanna say
I need her, and I hope she'll understand, yeah
[Chorus]
Parasite lady
Parasite eyes
Parasite lady
No need to cry
[Guitar solo]
Parasite was written by Ace Frehley.
