Of course this land is dangerous
All of the animals
Are capably murderous
When I was a boy
My big brother held on to my hand
And he made me slap my own face
I looked up to him then and still do
He was trying to teach me something
And now I know what it was
Now I know what he meant
Now I know what it is, oh
One must eat the other
Who runs free before him
Put them right into his mouth
While fantasizing the beauty of his movements
A sensation not unlike
Slapping yourself in the face
Slapping yourself in the face
It's like slapping yourself in the face
