lyrics

Try not to laugh
Try to keep a straight face
He fell on his ass, let the giggle fit pass
What is going on?
Why is he smiling?
A pleasure center touched, don’t pity too much, he is happy
You’ve caged up your heart
You wanna feel protected
You hold the controls for the sails of your soul,
but look to the left
He’s always surrendering
He bows and he gives for as long as he lives in your shadow

The pig that wants to be eaten
Don’t turn away, he said it’s okay
The puppy that don’t need no feedin’
Forget who you are, just let him starve
What is wrong? What is right? Just take a big bite
He will not be denied
The pig that wants to be eaten is waiting outside
The pig that wants to be eaten
Don’t turn away, he said it’s okay
The puppy that don’t need no feedin’
Forget who you are, just let him starve
What is wrong? What is right? Just take a big bite,
and ask him for more
The pig that wants to be eaten waits at your door
