Lyrics
Extra clever Earthbound spirit Ghost in the form of a mongoose And I have hands And I have feet I’ll never die I am a freak Hello I’m here I’m living in the wall I know I might be small but I I I am a freak Thou wilt never know what I am I am the fifth dimension And I’ll split the atom If you see me You’re paralyzed Pillar of salt You’re mummified Hello I’m here I’m living in the wall I know I might be small but I I I am the eighth wonder And I was born 1852 And I was born In India And I shall haunt Like the Buggane With such weird noise And clanking chains Hello I’m here I’m living in the wall I know I might be small but I I I am a freak I say “vanished” To underground Jim, let me go I watch like hell And I have hands And I have feet I’ll never die I am a freak Hello I’m here I’m living in the wall I know I might be small but I I I am the eighth wonder Eighth wonder of the world You'll never get to see What in the name of God can I be?
