Lyrics

I stared into her belly through the eyes of a beast
Made a toast to life and commenced the feast
We chewed up leafy greens 'til our mouths were oozing foam
Devoured mounds of meat, sucking marrow from the bone
Washed it down with wine, vintage 1953
Leaned back in our chairs, sucked our gums, and picked our teeth
Gazing at her belly, I watched the unfolding of time
Stricken by a bolt, I blurted
"There's no way that child is mine!"
Silence gripped the table 'til the sobbing began
Then her consoling and my scolding from the wives of all the men
Who glared down at their plates, faces flushing red
The women all demanded a platter with my head
The knowledge in my head fed the anger in my heart
The throbbing in my hands meant the choking soon would start
I grabbed the throat of the nearest shrew
She was sitting to my right
Someone brained me with a skillet
Boom boom, out go the lights
I was watching from above, my body face down on the floor
They gathered around my carcass, gasping in horror
"What do we do about the body?" someone cried
"I heard that without a body there can be no trial"
Their demeanor quickly changed, and they all got down to work
That is how it was I who became the final course
