Chorus
Lep.. Lep... Leper.  Lep... Lep.. Leper
Lep.. Lep... Leper. Lep... Lep.. Leper

Verse 1
Skin like crocodiles,
Tortured, twisted smiles.
Constantly reviles
Morbidly beguiles.

Chorus

Verse 2
Play it as a game.
Parasitic fame.
Beauty lies in shame.
Pariah all the same.

Bridge
Grotesque freaks for all to see 
A mirror of Man’s indignity
Brother lepers can’t you see
Lepers — you and me.

Chorus

Verse 3
Molakai’s Retreat.
In this savage heat.
Knotted hands and feet.
Crawling through the Street.

Chorus

Verse 4
I’ve been here before.
Oozing bloody sores.
Hide in darkened doors.
Die — just a Little bit more.

Bridge

Interlude

Bridge

Chorus

Verse 5
Fear the leper’s fears.
Cry the leper’s tears.
After all these years.
Lepers always here.


Chorus
Verse 6
Here — Though we can’t see.
How we came to be.
Fearing you and me.
And our leprosy.

Bridge
Grotesque freaks for all to see 
A mirror of Man’s indignity
Brother lepers can’t you see
Lepers — you and me.
