V4.5-ALL

[Intro]
(Tick... Tock... Tick... Tock...)
(DING-DONG!)
Spoken: 
Oh, look who it is.
My favorite guests.
Right on time... again.

[Verse]
I opened up my doors to the desperate and the weak,
But these two little monsters are a different kind of freak!
They knock upon my window, they rattle at my gate,
Demanding my attention from the morning until late.
They look so sweet and innocent, with ribbons in their hair,
But underneath that porcelain is a nightmare I can't bear!

[Chorus]
Oh boy, oh boy, not them again,
A little-boy and girl,
But that’s not their true age!
(Trapped in a loop… Which one? - I don’t know, anymore)
There they come with their crazy requests
Almost made me go, madly insane!
N-E-E-D-Y, that’s how I would describe them all,
Underprivileged, and starving with the poor.
I sadly turn them into a double-edged sword,
I steep their needs into a spoiled tea...
Mrs. Needy and Mr. Needy!

[Verse]
They ask me for a favor, they beg me for a dime,
They've been playing this exact same game since the dawn of time.
"We're hungry," they whimper. "We're freezing in the cold!"
But I can see the calculating glimmer of the old.
So I give them what they ask for, but I add a little twist,
A twisted little bargain that they simply  can't resist.
If they want a silver platter, I will hand it on a knife!
Welcome to the circus of eternal, looping life!

[Bridge]
Round and round the teacup goes!
Where does the timeline stop? Well, nobody knows!
Stir the sugar, steep the lies,
Watch the ancient madness in their little eyes!
I'm losing my mind! I'm losing my grip!
With every single, demanding little sip!

[Outro]
Spoken (softly, sinisterly):
Drink up, my darlings.
Drink it all down.

Mrs. Needy... and Mr. Needy.
