about

When my best friend from school first heard this she asked if it was about my mother. It hadn't consciously occurred to me, so I couldn't say for sure.

lyrics

There’s the worm, there’s the snail,
There’s the sting in the tail
Of the scorpion heart.

Scorn the free, mock the just,
Freeze the laugh, tease with lust
And the scorpion heart.

Seize the earth, bleed the gale,
Bite the snow, drive the nail
To the scorpion heart.

Twist the stake, pierce the crust,
Spill the corpse, dust to dust
Of the scorpion heart.

Spew the blood, chew the brain,
Drag the spleen, nag the pain
Of the scorpion heart.
