lyrics

Xenophobia

Someone's only chasing their tale
Acting as authorities on a mission
Where copious insanity fails transition
And anybody left is only mulling it over
Yeah

Fields of a neurosis in bloom
Apparently they're never quite out of season
And tantamount to spelling the doom it feeds on
And anybody left is only mulling it over

Xenophobia - look out it's gonna own ya
Xenophobia - never gets to know ya

While preying on susceptible brains
Grabbing for the bait and the line and sinker
Whose only sin is being a Kool Aid drinker
And anybody left will have to die for the pleasure

Xenophobia - watch out, they're gonna stone ya
Xenophobia - nobody lonelier
Xenophobia - right there in your home, yeah
Xenophobia - somebody's gonna label you bad

I never dreamed you'd stay so long
I thought that you belonged to the here and gone
I never dreamed that you would stay so long
Oh no, I thought that you belonged
I thought that you belonged

You couldn't make it up if you tried
The reasoning can run like a roller coaster
To make you feel like you're on a wanted poster
You turn around and find that you've waited forever
Can't wait forever

And when you make it home tonight
You're gonna be spinning your tail

Xenophobia - watch out, they're gonna stone ya
Xenophobia - nobody lonelier
Xenophobia - right there in your home, yeah
Xenophobia - somebody's gonna label you bad

I never dreamed you'd stay so long
I thought that you belonged to the here and gone
I never dreamed that you would stay so long
Oh no, I thought that you belonged
I thought that you belonged
I never knew that you would stay so long
I thought that you belonged
I thought that you belonged
