Well I swung through town Shining like a new quarter Felt something sharp rise up within me When I crossed the border Stopped at the gas station payphone I let my fingers fly The wicked impulses were dying But I couldn't let them die We were over at your place Singin about the old times I ate so much carrion That I could not move I was bloated
When I saw you in the kitchen Glistening like the old country All your cups and glasses Lined up in front of me I stopped at the faucet for a minute Waited til you came in to see what was wrong Your fingers brushed my ribs playfully And I played along You had your tongue in my mouth Your eyes glistening in the light I ate rich raw carrion Till I couldn't think right I was full
