[Intro]
[whispered vocals]
Bless this bird
Bless this feast
For what we’re ’bout to receive
May it never leave
[Verse 1]
Sunday table
Candles burnin’ low
Grandma’s eyes gone silver
Sayin’
“Child
You know”
“Every little bite you take
Got a watchful soul”
Hear that scratchin’ in the walls
Cluckin’ in the floorboards below
[Chorus]
Bucket of salvation
Pile it high
Amen
Dippin’ in temptation
Once again
Again
Oh
Chicken
Sweet chicken
You haunt me when I sleep
Chicken nuggets in my nightmares
Marchin’ ‘round my feet
[Verse 2]
Choir in the kitchen
Hummin’ while they fry
Grease poppin’ like tongues of fire
Reachin’ for the sky
Tiny golden halos
Floatin’ on the tray
I swear I hear ’em whisper
“Eat and you will pay”
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Hands up
Hands up
Who among you’s clean? (mm-hmm)
Got crumbs on your collar
And sauces in between
[low vocal register]
When the rooster calls at midnight
And the bones begin to shake
Will you taste that holy flavor
Or will you be the one that’s baked?
[Chorus]
