“Plump” is a recorded song off Alternative band Hole’s Live Through This.

[Verse 1]
Shakes his death rattle
Spittle on his bib
And I don't do the dishes
I throw them in the crib
[Chorus]
I'm eating you

Your milk's in my mouth
It makes me sick
[Verse 2]
Now I've stumbled here

But I threw up all the time
[Chorus]
I'm eating you
I'm overfed
Your milk's in my mouth
It makes me sick
[Bridge]

Do you fake it for me like I?
Do you fake it for me like I?
[Verse 3]
My baby's in her arms
Crawling up her legs
Like a liar at a witch trial
You look good for your age
[Chorus]
I'm eating you
I'm overfed
Your milk's in my mouth
It makes me sick
