Songtext:
i live in an eggshell
sometimes, if i'm careful, i can make a pinpoint
through the shell
and see the light
i'm too big to fit through the hole, though,
and that's my tough luck
inside my eggshell i am secure,
as long as i am careful not to move
but i have no control over what happens from the outside
i huddle there and worry that something i can not see
will bump into me
and when it does!
you wouldn't believe what happens in an eggshell then!
i get scrambled
my brains run like bean soup into my veins, bursting them
and my blood spatters up against the wall
worst of all
a little bit of me seeps through cracks
and trickles away forever
people who live in eggshells have only one alternative:
they can get hard boiled
sometimes, if i'm careful, i can make a pinpoint
through the shell
and see the light
i'm too big to fit through the hole, though,
and that's my tough luck
inside my eggshell i am secure,
as long as i am careful not to move
but i have no control over what happens from the outside
i huddle there and worry that something i can not see
will bump into me
and when it does!
you wouldn't believe what happens in an eggshell then!
i get scrambled
my brains run like bean soup into my veins, bursting them
and my blood spatters up against the wall
worst of all
a little bit of me seeps through cracks
and trickles away forever
people who live in eggshells have only one alternative:
they can get hard boiled
