lyrics
Worms eat shit and they never complain
All they ever ask for is a little bit of rain
Just a shower on their bodies, so squishy and round
To rinse off all the daylight and to soften the ground.
Little miss sunshine, do you hate the rain?
Tell me, what am I supposed to do?
Worms need water on their clammy skin
And I'm nothing but a worm to you.
Would you like to cut my head off?
Would you like to see me squirm?
Would you like to see me shrivel in the sun?
Well, I'm standing in the shower on a chilly afternoon
As I run out of hot water and my hands begin to prune...
A shower is a potent and mysterious thing
For no apparent reason it can move you to sing
When I'm standing in the shower I'm completely alone
I am securely protected from the door and the phone.
But somehow the curtain doesn't keep out the sun
A little light always gets in
And sooner or later I will have to step out
And another crappy day will begin.
Would you like to cut my head off?
Would you like to see me squirm?
Would you like to see me shrivel in the sun?
Well, I'm standing in the shower on a chilly afternoon
As I run out of hot water and my hands begin to prune...
I thought I had some privacy, I guess I was wrong
I thought I was alone, I should have known all along
You shine around the blackest cloud and slip through every crack
I try to shut you out, but you worm your way back
Little miss sunshine, do you hate the rain?
Tell me, what am I supposed to do?
Worms need water on their clammy skin
And I'm nothing but a worm to you.
Would you like to cut my head off?
Would you like to see me squirm?
Would you like to see me shrivel in the sun?
I could linger in the water, I could scrub and scrub all day
But I won't get any cleaner, and it won't wash you away.
All they ever ask for is a little bit of rain
Just a shower on their bodies, so squishy and round
To rinse off all the daylight and to soften the ground.
Little miss sunshine, do you hate the rain?
Tell me, what am I supposed to do?
Worms need water on their clammy skin
And I'm nothing but a worm to you.
Would you like to cut my head off?
Would you like to see me squirm?
Would you like to see me shrivel in the sun?
Well, I'm standing in the shower on a chilly afternoon
As I run out of hot water and my hands begin to prune...
A shower is a potent and mysterious thing
For no apparent reason it can move you to sing
When I'm standing in the shower I'm completely alone
I am securely protected from the door and the phone.
But somehow the curtain doesn't keep out the sun
A little light always gets in
And sooner or later I will have to step out
And another crappy day will begin.
Would you like to cut my head off?
Would you like to see me squirm?
Would you like to see me shrivel in the sun?
Well, I'm standing in the shower on a chilly afternoon
As I run out of hot water and my hands begin to prune...
I thought I had some privacy, I guess I was wrong
