Slaughterfish

Set the bait

You sit and wait

For the one

To fill your plate

Reel me in

Nowhere to swim

So I open up

And I let you in

Keeping me here

You will never let me know

When you plan to let me go

Leave me on the hook to feed me to the crows

Keeping me near

How my scales shine and glow

Think we ought to take things slow

Leave me out to dry, you'll never let me go

She knows where you keep it

You'll hide it, she'll seek it

She'll find it, and take it

You know that she'll break it

Keeping me here

You will never let me know

When you plan to let me go

Leave me on the hook to feed me to the crows

Keeping me near

How my scales shine and glow

Think we ought to take things slow

Leave me out to dry, you'll never let me go
