"Feed This End" lyrics - THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

[Intro: spoken sample]
All right
Come here, you
What?
Today I want you to be my love slave
Yes, master, oh you! Oooh
It goes both ways
It does?
Mmm, yeah
You want me to be your love slave?
Uh-huh

Stood near the cage of the prize-fighting cock
Sun cut through the clouds but the air pressure dropped
And I touched your hair for the very first time
I have that moment with me now, it's all mine

[Refrain:]
And you showed me a thing or two about power
In its purest form

A few minutes later you went back inside
And I stood near the clothesline where strips of beef dried
Hanging in the noonday sun, flies were buzzing nearby
And then your face in the window caught my eye

[Refrain:]
And you showed me a thing or two about power
In its purest form

Things don't look much different now from where I stand
Looking for you, camera in hand
Someone's gone away, and someone's gotten taller
But the world stopped turning, and the universe is much smaller

[Refrain:]
Since you showed me a thing or two about power
In its purest form

[Outro:]
Yeah, you showed me a thing or two about power
In its purest form
