The Red Roach

I'm a red roach
On a Red Street
I drink the sweet sewers
I curse the gods and rescuers
I'm a red roach
On a Red Street

They call me resilient
But I'm just persistent

Oh take me away
Oh beloved six feet
For I shall never miss
I shall never miss

They call me cold-blooded
But I'm just disgusted
By the man
And the girl
Wrapped up in pearls

The last time I saw you
I was hoping
It was the last time I saw you

They say I'm wasted potential
But me I'm just wasted

Oh take me away
Oh beloved six feet
For I shall never miss
I shall never miss

I'm the Arab that Camus couldn't shoot
I'm the walking corpse of Beirut
Like the holiest holy ghost

What is most holy doesn't add up
To a red roach
And thus God is created in our image
The Red Roach

So take me away
Oh beloved six feet
For I shall never miss
I shall never miss

So take me away
Oh beloved six feet
For I shall never miss
I shall never miss
