THE SOUP - Jenny Wilson

Imagine yourself

In this soup kitchen

It’s like an altar

Where you recognize all the legends

All the losers

The drifters, the battle cruisers

And like a heavenly choir

The beggars in the streets

They sing their «please»

With blisters on their tongues

Burnt from the heat of this song

The Soup

Whittle me down to a strong thin reed

Follow this recipe to match my need

Then simmer me slow in the freedom cup

Until my marrow’s left to sup

Legends and ghosts all you hungry wild ones

I feel the mourning comes from every corner

Now gimme a roar you pack of lions

Gimme a cure my blood will start a riot

Gimme the, gimme the soup

Oh, do you wanna taste the soup

Come on take a sip from the spoon

Oh, do you wanna taste the soup

Come on take a sip from the spoon

Oh, do you wanna taste the soup

Come on take a sip from the spoon

Oh, do you wanna taste the soup

Come on take a sip from the spoon

Blisters on your tongues

Burnt from the heat of this song

Guess this soup might give you the spark

Oh my God, your eyes are glowing in the dark

Said, gimme a roar you pack of lions

Gimme a cure my blood will start a riot

Gimme the, gimme the, gimme

Yeah, gimme a roar you pack of lions

Gimme a cure my heart will start a fire

Gimme the, gimme the soup

Oh, do you wanna taste the soup

Come on take a sip from the spoon

Oh, do you wanna taste the soup

Come on take a sip from the spoon

Oh, oh, do you wanna taste the soup

Come on take a sip from the spoon

Oh, do you wanna taste the soup

Come on take a sip from the spoon

Said, gimme a roar you pack of lions

Gimme a cure my blood will start a riot

Gimme the, gimme the, gimme

Yeah, gimme a roar you pack of lions

Gimme a cure my heart will start a fire

Gimme the, gimme the

Oh, do you wanna taste the soup

Come on take a sip from the spoon

Oh, do you wanna taste the soup

Come on take a sip from the spoon

Oh, oh, do you wanna taste the soup

Come on take a sip from the spoon

Oh, do you wanna taste the soup

Come on take a sip from the spoon
