Fleas Lyrics

If you could see what I see and all that you could be

Just have to set yourself free

Everybody tried to warn me when I got into town

To try to keep my distance

You've been hanging with the hounds

I thought I knew you better so I had to take a look

I got a little closer it was clear they sunk the hook

When you lie down with the least of these

You're just like a dog, you wake up with fleas

If you could see what I see and all that you could be

Just have to set yourself free

I remember back when you were itchin' and scratchin'

You weren't quite on the ups, begging someone to cash in

Back then you were a junkie, just looking for your fix

And now look at you, you fell for mediocre tricks

When you lie down with the least of these

You're just like a dog, you wake up with fleas

If you could see what I see and all that you could be

Just have to set yourself free

Now I see you itchin' and scratchin' once again

I guess the fleas have sucked you dry

And I can see it's wearin' thin

When you lie down with the least of these

You're just like a dog, you wake up with fleas
