i wanna be a cave slug sucking moisture off the wall
who could beat a cave slug? doesn't have to move at all
though what happens next will dictate how i live and how i die
i'd rather be a cave slug, embracing everything that implies

slid into the kitchen, greeted by the tv news
i'd choose not to listen but there's nothing left to lose
could it be a new regime's finally seizing control?
wouldn't feel displaced, god, it'd be ace in a foxhole

i could be a cave slug, sucking moisture off the wall
who could beat a cave slug? doesn't have to move at all
though what happens next will dictate how i live and how i die
i'd rather be a cave slug, embracing everything that implies

i could build a statue, work my body, not my mind
i'm not 2 live for that crew, i'll leave artistry behind
but i don't want a number on a jumper as my name
couldn't see myself succeed if algebra's the game

can't even act like i don't care
'cause there's some wadjets there
with a plan for me
don't wanna question my own fate
'cause there's a guy who waits
with electricity
i take a breath and move into the street

i could be a cave slug, sucking moisture off the wall
who could beat a cave slug? doesn't have to move at all
though what happens next will dictate how i live and how i die
i'd rather be a cave slug, embracing everything that implies
