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
