Sick horses They don’t know nothin’ They don’t know nothin’ at all So give me, so give me Teeth I can chew with And just enough of that horse meat To keep me all skittish And oh These teeth that tear I know Even predators fear Scared horses They know what’s comin’ They know what’s comin’ today So feed me, so feed me Horse hide and bile And just enough taught tendons To tie up my smile And oh These teeth that tear I know Even predators fear I will never Look like a lion And I will never Burst from the grass, to see Take to flight, sink the bite And drag that dead body The meat I devoured All but exhausted now Bones I have carved into poems Hard angles stabbin’ out The hell am I eatin’? Horse shit and silage My plate is steamin’ Like the adage Don’t look your gift horse in the mouth And oh I know Dead horses Love to do nothin’ They love lovin’ nothin’ at all So cleanse me, so cleanse me With bleach and ammonia And just enough of that horse meat To feed the nostalgia And oh These teeth that tear I know Even predators fear I will never Look like a lion And I will never Burst from the grass, to see Take to flight, sink the bite And drag that dead body |
