Meet Woman, Meat Woman

She was lying on the ground made of lunchmeat and fat.

Meet Woman, Meat Woman,

why did you die?

Rotting on the ground made of tuna and rye!

salami goes hungry

underneath the sky;

you're a mountain of cold-cuts and fat.

Meet Woman, Meat Woman,

hidden underground--

flesh-golems hear the funeral sound!

Chanting out pater-noster,

pound for pound--

on the cracked walk you still lie flat!

The snake and the bike,

in the cage,

with the priest,

survived a riot at the funeral feast!

And the communards

all ply their trade as

Jack the Ripper drips the love he made.

Meat Woman, Meat Woman

flesh debased--

I'll wrap you in cellophane and let you taste--

The honey-drip nectar

of my subtle ways,

lunchmeat-mama

drives the carnivore craze.

The fish in the hole

is hollow and bare--

and the cook with the oil in his jet-black hair--

fingers the cavity

of the thing,

as the day rolls on, and the jailbirds swing.

Meat Woman, Meat Woman

it's quite clear:

your shelf-life is over and the end is near.

As the buildings burn,

and the cops give chase--

I drop a drab of mayonnaise on your cold-cut face!
