Mark Englander - Suckage Where It Grows Lyrics

Brimming with affection
I hook my claw around his scrawny neck
A sullen glare
Is all he gets to flash before I squeeze
Applause erupts
As I lower him gently into the steaming vat
The acid bubbles
And the screaming stops, and he is no more

It started like this
The train arrived late, amid thunder and driving rain
He got off last
Hat low over his eyes, high collar turned up
He flashed his fangs in greeting
Amber eyes bright with menace, liquid with sorrow
"Lookin' good...", he hissed
My brown eye puckered - my heart skipped a beat

Back at the cave
Smoke from the fire hung low, bats stirred and squealed
Jerome's chains tinkled
He sure looked bad, his flabby flanks heaving with sobs
"Please listen...", he moaned
"I only did her 'cuz she wouldn't stop laughing!
I didn't know she was your f-"
Ziuteque's claw swung, blood sprayed, silence fell

The sight of it makes me feel like rapping
The smell of it makes my fur rise
The smoke and the sizzle - this path needs mapping
And the gorge comes up like a tide

We take wing and glide
The land below unfurls like a tapestry of grief
The young moon above
Like the lid of an eye that saw it all and cried
I feel like we'll live forever
And then I remember Laila's choked sobs and silent tears
And I know right then and there
That to be truly free you must cook what you hate most

The sound of it makes me wanna scream
The flow of it takes my breath away
The hiss and the gurgle - the noxious steam
That's what freedom tastes like...Mm-Mm, oy vey!
That's what freedom tastes like...Mm-Mm, oy vey!
That's what freedom tastes like...Mm-Mm, oy vey!
