Meat

[Verse 1]
There's this guy in a hole
And his arms are unjointed and he sways
There's a gap where his eyes
Used to stare, disappointed, at the days

[Bridge]
We don't have much time to
Say all the things we have to say
But still we pay mind to
The flesh that's destined for the clay

[Verse 2]
There's a book that I read
Made of muscle and sinew from my side
Though the writing is poor
I'm compelled to continue where lied

[Bridge]
We don't have much time to
Say all the things we have to say
But still we pay mind to
The flesh that's destined for the clay

[Verse 3]
There's song in my mouth
Struggling hard to escape me where it may
But it's viscous and raw
Too naive and unshapely to betray

[Bridge]
We don't have much time to
Say all the things we have to say
But still we pay mind to
The flesh that's destined for the clay

[Chorus]
And we don't want to waste our time
In case we've passed out peak and prime
And now must fall into decay
So close your eyes and close your mind
Pretend with me that we have climbed
Out of the shadow of the grave

[Verse 4]
There's a bone in my hand
Freshly wrenched from the manhole at my feet
And it writes from the book
Dripping words I untangle from the meat

[Bridge]
We don't have much time to
Say all the things we have to say
But still we pay mind to
The flesh that's destined for the clay

[Chorus]
And we don't want to waste our time
In case we've passed out peak and prime
And now must fall into decay
So close your eyes and close your mind
Pretend with me that we have climbed
Out of the shadow of the grave

And we don't want to waste our time
In case we've passed out peak and prime
And now must fall into decay
So close your eyes and close your mind
Pretend with me that we have climbed
Out of the shadow of the grave

And we don't want to waste our time
In case we've passed out peak and prime
And now must fall into decay
So close your eyes and close your mind
Pretend with me that we have climbed
Out of the shadow of the grave

And we don't want to waste our time
In case we've passed out peak and prime
And now must fall into decay
So close your eyes and close your mind
Pretend with me that we have climbed
Out of the shadow of the grave

And we don't want to waste our time
In case we've passed out peak and prime
And now must fall into decay
So close your eyes and close your mind
Pretend with me that we have climbed
Out of the shadow of the grave
