Sarlacc by The Modal Nodes Lyrics

In the sands of the vast Dune Sea
On the planet Tatooine
Underneath a trio of moons
Lies the Great Pit of Carkoon
A home as good as any
For a sarlacc
Except for one small thing
That’s a drawback

It’s lonely

‘Cause when you have to wait
For a fresh playmate
To fall within
(or be thrown in)
The wait can be quite brutal

And it’s no surprise
When you’ve got no eyes
And no brow to furrow
Deep in your burrow
It all can seem rather futile
Hungry. So hungry
Feed me
Hungry. So hungry
Feed me

Oh?

But when it finally comes
Fresh meat hits your dry gums
Your beaked tongue rushes out
And starts thrashing about
Your first layer of teeth
And many underneath
After waiting for years
Can swing into high gear

A Trooper and a Jawa
Cascading down through your maw
Delicious treats galore
You’re happy as a spore
The vessels do their thing
Attach to prey and sting
The toxins do confuse
And consciousness they lose
They resign to their fate
And then again you wait
But you can focus your attention
On the process of digestion
That’s how a sarlacc perseveres
Because it takes a thousand years

But when you live in a pit
That’s it
You’ve gotta commit
