Eat or be Eaten

I got nothing to eat

In this old house

I gotta go out

And catch a mouse

I can't be wrong

So I gotta be right

Something's hungry

Like a hunter

And it's probing

Like a finger

As the drumbeat

Keeps things hurrying

That's the part

That's so appealing

It's the beat

That dominates

Each breath you draw

Each step you take

Strike or be stricken

Eat or be eaten

Yum yum yum yum

Eat or be eaten

Your skills

Are highly appreciated

But still

That girl can make magnetize

You sense

The hunger in her eyes

It's beat or be beaten

There's no softness

In her eyes

With a stubborn will

To tantalize

Like some cheap devil

In disguise

And it's troubling me

Hell it's nervy

That's what it is

Eat or be eaten

Strike or be stricken

The night is dark

The night is pulp

Tilt back your head

And take a gulp

Of air that's screamed

A thousand times

The main thing is

To victimize

It's just the night

For a conquering tribe

Oh it's just the night

For a conquering tribe

Eat or be eaten

Beat or be beaten

Faster than the arrow flies

Or the man who smiles

White he lies

It's just the night

For a conquering tribe and…

The girls are calling

In a yellow dress

That girl is calling

In a yellow dress

She says

"Eat eat eat here boys

Eat eat eat here boys."

And then a bop a doo ba

Doop ba adop a dooba

Ba bop booma bop a doo

Bop boom a doopee dee

A dop a doop a bum bayo

Bayum boombayumboom
