Verse 1

Sardine you’re all that I got

And you’re not very much to look at

Well I see you sitting there with that glassy stare

So twisted and grimy and crooked

Verse 2

Sardine I know you got backbone

You ain’t afraid to show me

Oh but I can’t find you’re heart when you fall apart

Are you nothing but skinny and bony

Chorus

Oh but you taste so much like a woman

But that just means that you are the real thing

It’s as though you sleep where the passion runs deep

And deeper is where the sweetest things cling

Verse 3

You sleep so close like flies on paper

With your sisters and your brothers

And I look into your eyes like big blackberry pies

And I chew you up just like all the others

Verse 4

And my breath will carry you all night

And linger on until tomorrow

Oh until I scrape you out of the cracks of my mouth

And hope that you’re children will follow
