That's The Worm's Game

Lyrics by Nick Osbourne and Richard Yates

Agujero de gusano
El insecto, mi hermano
Agujero de gusano
Te quiero, mi hermano

Llenaré su garganta de materia exótica
Y seré un fantasma en el pasado
Pero te prometo
¡No voy matar a mi abuelo!

Vacuum fluctuations during transportation could annihilate your hole
The worm would rather you be your own father than remake broken bones
Don’t be your child!
If you even make it past the tonsils
You’ll be squeezed like spunk from an onion (I’m all fucking shook up!)

There’s a light in the hole
But the worm will only fold
You’ll be left with monkey egg on your face
Or in 1442 you might invent chicken soup
And your father will be poisoned by the same
That’s the worm’s game

Wonderful
Oh darling you’re wonderful
And I want you to know the truth
As I go through the wormhole

But I want you to know that Nature hates your kind
And so devised the Chronology Protection Agency

Todo es gusano, Elvis
Abre los brazos, Elvis
No es peligroso, cariño
Quiero el pasado
Todos hombres enterrados
Las palabras, las bebidas, cariño
¡No, Elvis, no!

Debo hallarme en el pasado mañana mismo
Y jugaré con la luz de un universo paralelo
¡Sígame, Elvis, sígame!
Dentro el agujero de gusano
¿Para quién es la paella con pollo?

And in the tunnel there’ll be fourteen visions
That will come and go
And the very last will be death … death with your mother’s face on it

There’s a devil in the worm
So that when you take your turn
He will crush you like a winkle in a vice
Or in 1893 you might shoot Butch Cassidy
But then perish of a bee sting on the plains
That’s the worm’s game

¿Cuánto tiempo lleva aquí, Elvis?
Lo siento, no hablo español
Pero me gusta … ¿hamburgers?
!Hamburgers!
