You Stare At Me
you stare at me
benevolent eye
knowing why
I am here
what I will do
to you
wear your skin
drink you dry
pasteurise cream
strain and grain
make holes in
blue and vein
you stare at me
benevolent eye
knowing why
I am here
what I will do
to you
slice and dice
grind your bones
roast and fry
muscle for burgers
liver for onions
kidney for pies
and that eye
that eye
that eye
a delicacy!
