’67 Come Back as a Cockroach Songtext
von The Magnetic Fields

Be nice, or come back as a cockroach
Think twice, before being cruel
Those who are unlawful
Will be something awful
When the wheel of life revolves
Flesh dissolves

Behave... or demons will devour you
They crave... the meat of bad boys
They find most delicious
The fresh flesh of vicious
Tots who would deny the Lamb
What a scam!


How could... one come back as a cockroach?
Why would a spirit eat meat?
I was a dyspeptic
Epileptic skeptic
Other kids ask "why?" at two
I still do

I want... to come back as a cockroach
Or haunt some drafty mansion
I′m the kind of chillin'
Wants to be the villain
Always separate from the pack
Dressed in black

I′m still... a dreadful goody-goody
Won't kill an innocent flea
From the time I began
I was mostly vegan
Let that little cockroach be
Don't kill me
