And it's slithering under my door
在我的門縫下滑行
And it's in my peripheral vision

And it's pourin' up under my floor

And it's whispering into my eardrums
在我的耳膜裡低語
And it's telling me that I want more
它告訴我「我還要更多」

And that *eureka moment hits you like a cop car

And you wake up just head and shoulders in a glass jar

Yeah you're ravenous you're chomping at the bit
對，你真餓壞了，吃得津津有味
Just a cog next to a cog next to a pit
