Recorded Live at Alvin's, Detroit MI

lyrics

He wakes up in the morning
doing shots before he goes,
Standing in the air
tying knots in all the holes,
He takes the feet and clips them off
just above the knees,
Puts them in a pot
to make glue for you and me,

Are you going to the Slaughterhouse,
Yes, I’m going to the Slaughterhouse of Love,

One day I stood out on the floor amid the carnal fuss,
And in she stepped with two cows and a pig amid the muss,
All the years that I’d been here,
it was only for the work,
When she stepped in my whole world changed into a,
slaughterhouse of love,

Now I spend all my days amid the grime and gore,
Waiting for that little girl to peak in through the door,
And when she does we go and speak of politics and parts,
But in my heart I know she craves my slaughterhouse of love,

She said she’d never been in a slaughterhouse before,
Or for that matter, never seen the power and the force,
Into the crimson slaughter we tumbled to the floor,
And consummated the vivisection that she’d been waiting for...
