This song ties in most closely with the vulture theme that surrounds the Asylum – the death pits where the corpses of the inmates are discarded in are the home of many vultures, picking at the dead bodies that were laid to rest there. There is a connection between these vultures and Doctor Stockhill...
[SCAVENGER]
I am a scavenger, and I'll take what I need
This isn't personal, we've all got mouths to feed
Supply and demand
Supply and demand
I am a scavenger, a resurrectionist
Yes, I enjoy my work I'm a perfectionist
Supply and demand
Supply and demand
One man's trash is another's treasure
One man's cash buys another's pleasure
I'll rob from the cradle, and I'll rob from the grave
It's just human traffic, and I'm just a slave
To the medical community, they gave me my start
They pay by the part, so I'll throw in the heart
I am a scavenger a vulture, if you will
And if the price is right, I'm not adverse to kill
Supply and demand
Supply and demand
I am a scavenger and as you decompose
My time is running out and my excitement grows
Supply and demand
Supply and demand
But surely you'll understand
It isn't your diamonds that I'm after
But I'll take 'em
Don't mind if I do
They'll be nothing to you
It isn't your kisses that I'm here for
But I'll take 'em
Why would we waste them?
Why shouldn't I taste them?
There's always one door that you forget to lock
And I will be waiting
There's always one street that you know you shouldn't walk
And I will be waiting
Your loved ones may sleep upon your stone to prevent me
But I will be waiting
I will be waiting
Anticipating
I am a scavenger
I am a scavenger
I am a scavenger
[SCAVENGER & INMATE]
I am a scavenger (I should be home by now)
I am a scavenger (Someone will come for me)
I am a scavenger (I should be home by now)
Supply and demand (Someone will come for me)
Supply and demand (Someone will come for me)
Supply and demand
Supply and demand
Supply and demand!
