Cannibal's Hymn

You have a heart and I have a key Lie back and let me unlock you Those heathens you hang with down by the sea All they want to do is defrock you I know a river, where we can dream It will swell up, burst it's banks, babe, and rock you You're gonna dine with them cannibals Sooner or later, darling, you're gonna get eaten But I'm glad you've come around here with your animals And your heart that is bruised but unbeaten And beating like a drum I will sit like a bird on a fence Sing you songs with a happy ending Swoop down and tell you that it don't make much sense To attack the very thing you're defending Didn't I just buy that dress for you? That pink paper pinafore that you keep mending If you're gonna dine with them cannibals Well sooner or later, darling, you're gonna get eaten But I'm glad you've come around here with your animals And your heart that is banging and beating And banging like a gong I can see that they've hurt you, dear Here is some moonlight to cloak us And I will never desert you here Unpetaled among the crocus Allow me, my love, to allay your fear As I swim in and out of focus If you're gonna dine with the cannibals Well sooner or later, darling, you're gonna get eaten But I'm glad you've come around here with your animals And your heart that is bruised but bleating And bleeding like a lamb Banging like a gong, beating like a drum
