Paroles The final course Mudhoney

The final course

I stared into her belly through the eyes of a beast
Made a toast to life and, commenced the feast
We chewed up leafy greens, til our mouths were oozing foam
Devoured man from meat, sucking marrow from the bone
Washed it down with wine, vintage 1953
Lean back in our chairs suck our gums, and picked our teeth

Gazing at her belly I watched, the unfolding of timeStricken by her both-eyed plunder there's no way that child was mine!

Silence gripped the table til the, sobbing began
And her consoling am I stole-ing from the wives of all the men
Who glared down at their plates, faces flushing red
The women all demanded, a platter with my head
The knowledge in my head, fed the anger in my heart
The throbbing in my hands, meant the choking soon would start

I grabbed the throat of the nearest shrew, she was sitting to my right
Someone brained me with a skillet, boom boom, out go the lights

I was watching from above my body, face down on the floor
They gathered round my carcass, gasping in horror
"What do we do about the father?" someone cried
I heard that without a body there can be no trial
Their demeanor quickly changed, and they all got down to work
That is how it was I who became, the final course!
