i caught that girl flying
and i ater her up
down to the bottom
then i licked her bones clean
and i sucked the marrow out
down to the bottom
and i placed her bones carefully 
on the ground in front of me

and you came walking
up that great hill
some folks call it a mountain
up to the top
and you asked me
why'd you eat that girl up
why'd you eat her up?
she was good and kind 
and beautiful to boot
so why'd you eat her up

i was sipping on the last of her blood
cupped in an ankle bone
i lokked at you and said
i'm not gonna tell you
why i ate that girl up
you can stand there you can beg me for a year
i'm still not gonna tell you why
i know she was good and kind
i know she was tha beautiful
but man oh man 
if you could have only had a bite yes
you would have tasted just how sweet she really was

and so you went walking
down that great hill
down to the bottom
so i'm not gonna ask you why
why you didn't look where you were going
why you never looked down
'cause now her bones are powder beneath your feet
spread into the ground
down to the bottom
down to the bottom
