Stephin Merritt - '67: Come Back as a Cockroach lyrics

Be nice or come back as a co*kroach Think twice before being cruel Those who are unlawful Will be something awful When the wheel of life revolves Flesh dissolves Behave or demons will devour you They crave the meat of bad boys They find most delicious The fresh flesh of vicious Tots who would deny the Lamb What a scam How could one come back as a co*kroach? Why would a spirit eat meat? I was a dyspeptic Epileptic skeptic Other kids ask "why?" at two I still do I want to come back as a co*kroach Or haunt some drafty mansion I'm the type of chil'n Wants to be the villain Always separate from the pack Dressed in black I'm still a dreadful goody-goody Won't k** an innocent flea From the time I began I was mostly vegan Let that little co*kroach be Don't k** me
