FEED ME

[Intro - spoken, imperious, too close to the mic] Attend. You are permitted entrance Now, Offer tribute. [Choir - low, reverent] (feed him) (feed him.) (Feed him) (Feed him!) [Verse 1] I am the Little Lord Behold my empty plate You come with heavy burdens a dark and leaden weight Do not announce yourself I recognize your scent The hurried little panic The explosive intent Render unto me what is mine, dear bothered monarchs I demand you sit, let’s exchange our treasured hallmarks [Pre-Chorus] Come closer, subject Unburden your estate I will not be patient I won’t politely wait [Chorus] FEED ME (What weighs you down) FEED ME (You’re doody bound) FEED ME (Sititurio) FEED ME (Esurio) [Verse 2] I am ravenous Bound to life of thirst You leave me in dark and silence Until you’re filled up, fit to burst You arrive with secrets You leave fresh as dew I know you’ll come back You always do Priests get candles Kings get wine I get your gold and shade All by design [Pre-Chorus] Come now, darling Do not be proud All grand philosophies are built upon my crown [Chorus] FEED ME (What weighs you down) FEED ME (You’re doody bound) FEED ME (Sititurio) FEED ME (Esurio) [Bridge - spoken, overbearing, gleeful] I have received emperors. Liars. Nuns. Brokers. Brides. Jammy-handed children. Men who thought themselves storms. All of them prostrate. All of them loyal. All of them mine for about ten minutes. [Choir] (give or take) (give or take.) (Give or take.) (Give or take!) [Pre-Chorus - building] I am the maw in the chapel I am the hush after battle I am the mouth you obey Pull the chain and run away [Final Chorus] FEED ME (What weighs you down) FEED ME (You’re doody bound) FEED ME (Sititurio) FEED ME (Esurio) FEED ME (All your pride has come to this) FEED ME (Panic, mercy, bless-ed bliss) FEED ME (Offer up and lose control) FEED ME (Turn the key and pay the toll) [Outro - no music, spoken, petulant and grand] Haha! Ooh, yes, delightful! Again. [End]
