Tom Leonard - Closer To The Bone Lyrics

She's fragile as a finger nail
You could rip her in two
She's skinny as a skeleton
Ribs poking out at you

But dare she come around
And trespass through my door
I'll tear her limb from limb
Lick her blood right off the floor

Cause, Closest to the bone
Sweeter is the meat
Last slice of Texas ham
Is the best that she can eat

Well, don't talk about my baby
She's slender but she's sweet
Closest to the bone
And sweeter is the meat

I'll peal away your innocence
Blood drips down my knife
I'll wear you as my happy face
See life through your eyes

Yeah, in my darkness full of rage
Best leave me alone
I'll fight the vultures for your meat
And leave you skin and bones

Cause, closest to the bone,
Sweeter is the meat
Last taste of Texas ham
Is the best that you can eat

Noooo, don't talk about my baby
She's slender but she's sweet
Closest to the bone
And sweeter is the meat

Ohhh, chained up in this hole
Sawin' off the leash
I'll eat you all alive
And spit you from my teeth

I laugh as you lay dying
My revenge is bitter sweet
Closest to the bone
And sweeter is the meat

Closest to the bone
And sweeter is the meat
I laugh as you lay dying
My revenge is bitter sweet
