Ticks & Leeches Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Suck and suck
Sucking up all you can
Sucking up all you can suck and suck
Working up under my patience like a little tick
Fat little parasite
Suck me dry
My fruit is bruised and borrowed
You thieving bastards
You have turned my blood cold and bitter
Beat my compassion black and blue
[Chorus]
Hope this is what you wanted
Hope this is what you had in mind
'Cause this is what you're getting
I hope you're choking
I hope you choke on this
I hope you're choking
I hope you choke on this
[Verse 2]
Taken all I can, taken all I can, I can take
Taken all you can, taken all you can, we can take
Got nothing left to give to you
Blood-sucking parasitic little tick
Blood-sucking parasitic little
Blood-sucking parasitic little tick
Take what you want and then go
[Chorus]
Hope this is what you wanted
Hope this is what you had in mind
'Cause this is what you're getting
[Bridge]
Suck me dry
Suck, suck me dry
Sucking me dry
Suck, suck me dry
[Chorus]
Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you had in mind?
Is this what you wanted?
'Cause this is what you're getting
I hope, I hope, I hope you choke
