Earwig - Tenement

Don’t you know it takes some time?

Don’t you know it takes some time?

Stuck a needle in my eye

And told me to get it out

With my hands tied behind my back

All I could do was shout:

Don’t you know it takes some time?

Don’t you know it takes some time?

They say I’m much too young to die

But I can’t see a reason why

Don’t you know it takes some time?

Don’t you know it takes some time?

Two parents who didn’t care

And a life they could never live

Even if they would have dared

'Cause nothing ever works out
