| I had a call the other night,
|
| it was hot, it was october,
|
| the weather wasn’t right,
|
| everybody was uptight.
|
| my friend called at night
|
| and he said:
|
| «hey, there’s an emergency here at home,
|
| you got to come away from whatever
|
| you’re doing and get back here.»
|
| i said «ooh… what’s the matter dear?»
|
| he said «we got bug infestation!
|
| we got a whole nation of bugs
|
| crawling all over the house.»
|
| i said «well, what kind of louse?»
|
| he said «every kind of louse that you can describe.
|
| i mean, man, the vibe is just wild.
|
| they’re crawling around the walls,
|
| they’re having their own parties.
|
| they’re taking out my apple sauce from the fridge,
|
| they don’t know what they did,
|
| they’re just crazy bugs.»
|
| i said «man look, get your head on straight…
|
| it’s an indian summer,
|
| those little bugs parents
|
| what got laid back in july,
|
| their eggs is just hatchin',
|
| now that is why
|
| we got bug infestations at home.
|
| just you leave those little suckers alone
|
| and everything’ll be alright.»
|
| but my friend said that he didn’t feel right
|
| and that i had to get straight back home.
|
| but i said «look man, a similar thing happened to me
|
| way back in july…»
|
| «i was in belfast
|
| i can’t remember why,
|
| and i met these two beautiful people
|
| and we went out on the downs
|
| and we took a photograph together
|
| and when i got back their image
|
| seemed to have diminished
|
| when i looked at the photograph,
|
| and my friend said:
|
| «why, that’s strange.»
|
| and i said «hmm… i wonder why?»
|
| then i got a phone call…
|
| those two people had just died.
|
| so oj the grand scheme of things,
|
| it don’t mean a thing
|
| if you got bug infestation in the house.
|
| now, hush your little head and don’t you cry.
|
| those little bugs are gonna leave in the by and by,
|
| and when they get up to heaven
|
| they’ll still have eight legs only…
|
| there won’t be any bodies left.

|
| she says «hey babe, are you feeling alright?
|

|

|

|
