Josh Homme
Mosquito Song
[Verse 1]
I know, I know the sun is hot
Mosquitoes come suck your blood
And leave you there all alone
Just skin and bone
When you walk among the trees
Listening to the leaves
The further I go, the less I know
The less I know

[Chorus]
Where will you run?
Where will you hide?
Lullabies to paralyze

[Verse 2]
Fat and soft, pink and weak
Foot and thigh, tongue and cheek
You know I'm told they swallow you whole
Skin and bone
Cutting boards and 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
[Bridge]
And the knife says

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Simmering, pick and pluck
Tenderize bone to dust
The sweetest grease, finest meat
You'll ever taste (Taste)
So you scream, whine, and yell
Supple sounds of dinner bells
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
