I'm a tick on a tree like a tick on a tree And I want you to sweat for me I'm a tick on a tree with my nose to the wind I'm waiting patiently I can hold my breath - I can hold my breath I am waiting here wasting the years Time means nothing to me I'm a tick on a tree on a tree And I'm getting thirsty I can hold my breath - I can hold my breath The power of patience keeps me alive (I can wait forever) To drop down and become a part of your life (Grab your skin and leave here) Driven by instinct and led by drive (causing you brain fever) The power of patience keeps me alive (I can wait) If won't hurt when i bite I'm a parasite Causing brain injury I take more than I give as long as I live Suck your blood - I'm a tick on a tree Rip me out of your veins my head remains Somewhere in your decoltee To find a place for my clutch Simple as such is my philosophy
