lyrics

In tiny voices
Clicking from out
Clicking from out
Clicking from out the knife plate
Hear their tiny feet
Tapping out a beat

Cockroaches evolved
Below your kitchen
Cockroaches evolved
Below your kitchen
(wordless cockroach chant)

Standing upright
Standing upright
They come at you with claws
They come at you with their open jaws
But mostly they just
Look out for their own
(wordless cockroach chant)
Mostly they just look out for their owwwwwn

Cockroaches evolved
Under your kitchen
Up now and up
Setting out and off target
Audibly ha, ha, ho
Getting out the garbage for love, love, love
Getting out of the only (untranslatable)

Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
Cockroaches evolved
Under your kitchen
They're walking out to greet you now with jaws
They're walking out to see if you care about their welfare,
Why, if you care about their welfare like you should
But maybe to the inverse
But maybe you would love them now
But maybe to the inverse
Maybe you would love them now?

Perhaps, perhaps x17
Perhaps you get them wrong

All those times we thought
We were better than them
All those times we thought
We knew just what was in store
They were the pests
They were the worst
We were scared of them
That's when we should have realized
They were coming with open arms
They were coming with open arms for love
For love

Perhaps, perhaps
Perhaps, perhaps
We should have known better then

Perhaps, perhaps
Perhaps, perhaps
We should have known better than

Should have known better than
Should have known better
Should have known better
Should have known better then

Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

Perhaps, perhaps
Perhaps, perhaps
We should have known better then
The cockroach love
The evolving of a new friend
