  • It slipped my mind
    And for a time
    I felt completely free

    Oh what a troubled
    Silent, poor boy
    A pawn into a queen

    I laugh now
    But later is not so easy
    I've gotta stop
    The will is strong
    But the flesh is weak
    I guess that's it
    I've made my bed
    And I'm lying in it

    I'm still hanging on
    Bird upon the wires
    I fall between the waves

    I avoid your gaze
    I turn out of phase
    A pawn into a queen

    I laugh now,
    But later is not so easy
    I've gotta stop
    The will is strong
    But the flesh is weak
    I guess that's it
    I've made my bed
    And I'm lying in it

    But it's eating me up
    But it's eating me up
    It's eating me up (If I could feel all the snakes on my heads)
    It's eating me up (If I could feel all my snails on my heads)
    It's eating me up (If I could feel all my snares on my head) Writer/s: JOEY WARONKER, MAURO C REFOSCO, MICHAEL BALZARY, NIGEL TIMOTHY GODRICH, THOMAS EDWARD YORKE
