  • I know, I know the sun is hot
    Mosquitoes come suck your blood
    And leave you there all alone
    Just skin and bone
    When you walk among the trees
    Listening to the leaves
    The further I go, the less I know
    The less I know

    Where will you run?
    Where will you hide?
    Lullabies to paralyze

    Fat and soft, pink and weak
    Foot and thigh, tongue and cheek
    You know I'm told they swallow you whole, skin and bone
    Cutting boards and hanging hooks
    Bloody knives, cooking books
    Promising you won't feel a thing at all

    Swallow and chew
    Eat you alive
    All of us food that hasn't died

    And the knife says

    Simmering, pick and pluck
    Tenderize bone to dust
    The sweetest grease, finest meat you'll ever taste
    So you scream, whine, and yell
    Supple sounds of dinner bells
    We all will feed the worms and trees
    So don't be shy

    Swallow and chew
    Eat you alive
    All of us food that hasn't died Writer/s: Joshua Michael Homme, Michael Melchiondo, Nick Steven Oliveri
