Guts Of A Beggar 歌词

Twist and squirm on the hook Swallowed whole by the fish Drawn deep into its gorge Flavoring for the dish So the worm from the grave Gravely worms back to one Cleaned and dressed for the feast Then betrayed by the Sun The conqueror's conqueror Has hollows for eyes The emperor's emperor All lipless and smiles Here hung those lips that I kissed I know not how oft Here sat that devilish grin Now how abhorred in my Imagination it is When did you get so thin? Fine imperial shrouds Eaten through, eaten through And the jewels on his crown Reinterred just like you The conqueror's conqueror Has hollows for eyes The emperor's emperor All lipless and smiles The conqueror's conqueror The emperor's emperor The coroner's coroner The gravedigger's smile Rest my hand on the pane of the window into your domain Press my ear to the door till the whispers become something more The worm eats for two The worm passes through me into you How can you just step over me? I'm still a man Even stewing in my own filth, I'm still a man As my belly grows emptier, my mind expands Here's a handwritten list of my current demands Liquor Cocaine Words exchanged How can you just step over me? I was a man Lying here, rotting peacefully, I was a man Fatting worms as I once only fatted myself Slipping into the soil with loosening belt Casting my line Give it some slack Snagging your crown Tossing it back For what need have I For more bells on my cap As I walk the sea floor In the guts of a crab?
