Lyrics The Meat Of Life - Clem Snide

The Meat Of Life

I fed from the rotting fruit
Split the stalk inhaled the shoot
Spread the spores with every labored breath
Spit dissolved the mushroom cap
Stretch the tendons til they snap
I gathered up the shells with bandaged hands
To grow the meat of life
I will plant my seed
To grow the meat of life
I will
I fed from the ripened fruit
Naked 'neath the monkey _
The feasting ants found shelter in my shade
Their tiny tongues invade the crops
Unblinking eyes receive the drops
The crackling fire lulled me back to sleep
To grow the meat of life
I will plant my seed
To grow the meat of life
I will
