[Verse]
You've had my ear for far too long
I've paid heed to your every thought
Nothing here is what it seems
I'll suffer this make believe
And keep the crisis close
Conceal it slowly
Wait here til it takes me
[Chorus]
Lay it right out
And I will swallow it whole
Swallow it whole
[Verse]
There's something in what you've got
This hemlock is my pharmacon
I'm the dupe who s**s your humbug up
When you cook it good
I'm a rat to the blood
I'll keep the crisis close
Roll over slowly
Wait here til it takes me
[Chorus]
Lay it right out
And I will swallow it whole
Swallow it whole
Keep it coming
Keep it flowing out
And I will swallow it whole
[Bridge]
But I might loose my appetite
For your gristle and rind
Down in one
I might loose my appetite
For your gristle and rind
Down in one
[Chorus]
Lay it right out
And I will swallow it whole
Swallow it whole
Keep it coming
Keep it flowing out
And I will swallow it whole
