Tony Iommi - Meat Lyrics

You taste what you want from me

You taste all of the gristle from the bones I need

To stand up to you

To live up to fools

It's too troubling



Can't take what you like from me

Can't take all of the vision that your money thieves

Don't be careless now

Just a pretty babe

A cool covering



You can't hide, no

You can't hide the way you feel

You're just dead inside this meat

That you're smothering



You can't run, no

You just stumble, crash and cry

Without asking questions why

It's all crumbling



Dark eyes, beauty's never cheap

Dark hair, dark lips maybe that I want to cheat

See my sorry face

In this love that fails

It's all good for me



Slick baby that ain't worrying

Slick rage, strong is the ego that I want to test

In your head of lies

Cut me down to size

It's all credible



You can't hide, no

You can't hide the way you feel

You're just dead inside this meat

That you're smothering



You can't run, no

You just stumble, crash and cry

Without asking questions why



Pure fear that you're falling for

These tears, thick in the sadness that was running before

Welling up in dread

For a softer bed

I'm not worrying



You're so sane, all the lines you shed

So cool, so good, the picture for those crazy hoods

Got this gun for keeps

Stick it in this meat

I'm not hurrying



You can't hide, no

You can't hide the way you feel

You're just dead inside this meat

That you're smothering



You can't run, no

You just stumble, crash and cry

Without asking questions why

It's all crumbling



You can't hide, no

You can't hide the way you feel

You're just dead inside this meat

That you're smothering

That you're smothering

That you're smothering
