The World Is A Very Scary Place
Stephin Merritt
The world is a very scary place, my dear
It's hurled and it's twirled through outer space I fear
So many ways to lose your skin in it
The number of ways to die is infinite
The world is a very scary thing, I find
It curled all my toes and it's curling my mind
When I was young my study was candies
but they attract tarantulas and bees
Some people act as if there were nothing wrong
due to the fact they haven't heard this song
The world is a very scary place to go
It's whirled and it's swirled with death-like pace you know
You may have found my views unorthodox
but now the wolf is at the door, it knocks...
