Suzzy Roche - Eggshell lyrics

i live in an eggshell sometimes, if i'm careful, i can make a pinpoint through the shell and see the light. i'm too big to fit through the hole, though, and that's my tough luck. inside my eggshell i am secure, as long as i am careful not to move. but i have no control over what happens from the outside. i huddle there and worry that something i can not see will bump into me and when it does! you wouldn't believe what happens in an eggshell then! i get scrambled. my brains run like bean soup into my veins, bursting them. and my blood spatters up against the wall worst of all. a little bit of me seeps through cracks and trickles away forever. people who live in eggshells have only one alternative: they can get hard boiled.
