I'm on your blind side
I'm everywhere you don't expect me
I'm creeping up from behind
and you feel me like static electricity
I make your hair stand on end
and you don't know what its standing up for
so you lock your windows
and bar every door
but I seep in through your cracks
and I ooze out of every hole
and when you think you're in charge
its me who's in control

are you uncomfortable?
do your feet feel too big to fit your shoes?
that's because I'm leading you
to the place where you have to choose

with a little nervous laughter
and a little nervous grin
you pace your cage
but even if you bar the door I'll still get in
because I'm stronger than any lock
I'm bigger and brighter and faster than you
but I'm small enough to squeeze in
any crack where the light comes through
I seep in through your cracks
and I ooze out of every hole
and when you think you're in charge
its me who's in control

are you uncomfortable?
do your feet feel too big to fit your shoes?
that's because I'm leading you
to the place where you have to choose

and when you think you've cleaned me out
I'll whisper quietly "please let me in"
and gently wash over you like the scent of spring
