Lullaby's to paralyze...
Verse 2:
Fat and soft, Pink and weak, foot and thigh, tongue in cheek
You know I'm told they'll swallow you whole, skin and bone
Cutting boards, hanging hooks, bloody knives, cooking books
Promising you won't feel a thing at all

Chorus:
Swallow and chew, eat you alive
All of us food, that hasn't died
And the night says

Verse 3:
Simmering, pick and pluck, tenderize, bone to dust
The sweetest grease, the finest meat you'll never taste
So you scream, whine and yell, the supple sounds of dinner bell
We all will feed the worms and trees so don't be shy
Chorus:
Swallow and chew, eat you alive
All of us food, that hasn't died
