The Carnivore Song


Let's dance like wolves
In our leathers and furs
Under hot red lights
On a thick, sticky night.

You've got strong white teeth
Your skin's prickling with heat
And you know that I need you
Like our teeth need meat.

So let's do this like falcons
Screaming down for the kill
Not like sluggish old lizards
Who don't feel the thrill.
