Lyrics Emilie Autumn

Emilie Autumn

Scavenger

I am a Scavenger

And I'll take what I need

This isn't personal

We've all got mouths to feed

Supply and demand...

Supply and demand...

I am a Scavenger

A Resurrectionist

Yes, I enjoy my work

I'm a perfectionist

Supply and demand...

Supply and demand...

One man's trash is another's treasure

One man's cash buys another's pleasure

I'll rob from the cradle

And I'll rob from the grave

It's just human traffic

And I'm just a slave

To the medical community

They gave me my start

They pay by the part

So I'll throw in the heart

I am a Scavenger

A vulture, if you will

And if the price is right

I'm not averse to kill

Supply and demand...

Supply and demand...

I am a scavenger

And as you decompose

My time is running out

And my excitement grows

Suply and demand...

Suply and demand...

But surely you understand

It isn't your diamonds that I'm after

But I'll take 'em

Don't mind if I do

They'll mean nothing to you

It isn't your kisses that I'm here for

But I'll take 'em

Why should we waste them?

Why shouldn't I taste them?

There's always one door that you forget to lock

And I will be waiting...

There's always one street that you know you shouldn't walk

And I will be waiting...

Your loved ones may sit upon your stone to prevent me

But I will be waiting...

I will be waiting...

Anticipating...

I am a Scavenger...

I am a Scavenger...

I am a Scavenger...

I am a Scavenger...

I am a Scavenger...

I am a Scavenger...

[Girl:]

I should be home by now...

Someone will come for me...

I should be home by now...

[Scavenger:]

Supply and demand...

[Girl:]

Someone will come for me...

[Scavenger:]

Supply and demand...

[Girl:]

Someone will come for me...

[Scavenger:]

Supply and demand...

Supply and demand...

Supply and demand...
