[Charles Bukowski - Eating the Father Live lyrics]
Eating the Father
Well, the father was dead
He died shortly after the plane crash
They waited some time they were snowed in
Husband and wife
The pilot had gone off for help
But the pilot had been gone a long time
So, bit by bit they ate the father
It was her father
It worked: They were alive when the
Rescue team arrived
The pilot who had gone for help had frozen
When they got back to civilization they
Told the newspapers that they had asked God
And God had said, "all right"
And they knew that father would understand
They were photographed standing together
And smiling
I suppose I would've done the same thing
Without even asking God
But I think a better photograph
Would have been of the remains of the father
Something like an after Thanksgiving
Turkey
Well, the father was dead
He died shortly after the plane crash
They waited some time they were snowed in
Husband and wife
The pilot had gone off for help
But the pilot had been gone a long time
So, bit by bit they ate the father
It was her father
It worked: They were alive when the
Rescue team arrived
The pilot who had gone for help had frozen
When they got back to civilization they
Told the newspapers that they had asked God
And God had said, "all right"
And they knew that father would understand
They were photographed standing together
And smiling
I suppose I would've done the same thing
Without even asking God
But I think a better photograph
Would have been of the remains of the father
Something like an after Thanksgiving
