I am hungry, but I'm not cold.

I'm starving, but the suit keeps me warm.
A                                   E7
and the light hits me full in the face
      F#m               D
as I assume my new and dreadful form.

sustenance, blessed sustenance

I know that sleeping bodies hide sweet things inside.

and in the ever present light
and in my ever growing needs
if a man should crest the ridge,
he's going to have to watch me feed.

but no one's ever gonna come
and nobody's gonna know
I will sail home again concealed among the upright walking men
to know that sleeping bodies hide sweet things inside.
