[Intro]
[Verse 1]
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
Singing about the old times
No one had anything to prove
I ate so much carrion
That I could not move
I was bloated
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
When I saw your kitchen
Glistening like the old country
All your cups and glasses
Lined up in front of me and
I stopped at the faucet for a minute
Waited till you came in to see what was wrong
Your fingers brushed my ribs playfully
I played along
You had your tongue in my mouth
Your eyes glistening in the light
I ate rich raw carrion
Till couldn't think right
I was full
