lyrics

Wormtongue slithers slips like a lisp on lips 
Hither thither quivers and shivers like hips 
You know nothing unless I let it slip 
You know your heart flips when I let you hear this
and it gets inside 
If you ever get the message wrong
 Blame Wormtongue

Wormtongue hides bides time silent in cheek 
Jaws slide like taps just enough to let leak 
The news is sweet but Wormtongue's breath 
Sours the taste of these words nonetheless 
They get inside
If you ever get the message wrong
 Blame Wormtongue

Put the cup up to my ear
 Through the string heard a little whisper
 Wormtongue stirs doubt into the pot
 Draws the spoon up to taste the mixture

I listened to the gossip tact in tow
 Concerning lives of people I did not know 
But unlike the Crow cackling to the wind 
This music-less chatter devoid of any meaning
still got inside 
Though I can't lay the blame for long 
On old Wormtongue
