A Pest

Lyrics

I look at the mirror And what do I see? A man who knows his history And he's coming after me.

A crime scene from down-under By a pest chasing a dollar With fake research delusions And he's coming after me.

He has a funny style of speech Like a little lawyer He's got the information And he's coming after me.

Small time operator (It's as plain as it can be) Masquerades as a truth-teller And he's coming after me.

Such creatures are Familiar things, Bugs that stink, not sting And they're coming after me.

Do I laugh and hope That he goes away? Is that the best way to be When he's coming after me?

Or take him to a lonely place, Explain why he annoys; Offer quiet extinction And bury him under a tree?
