Little By Little

Turned so nasty now
The dark cell [or "self"]
The pit of my soul [Or 'The pillar of my soul”]
The last one out of the box
The one who broke this spell

Little by little by hook or by crook
I'm such a tease
And you're such a flirt
Once you've been around
You've been around enough (ooooh)

Little by little by hook or by crook
Never In earnest
Never get judged
I don't know where it is I should look

You could want it all, the flag and pole
I'm curling with my love
The last one out of the box
The one that broke the seal

Obligation
Complication
Routines and schedules
The job that kills you [obvious reference to “No Surprises”]
Kill you

Little by little by hook or by crook
Living in earnest
Never get judged
I don't know where it is I should look
