Scavenger

[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...

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 Scavenger...
I am Scavenger...
I am Scavenger...
I am Scavenger...
I am Scavenger...
I am 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...
