Summer Cannibals

I was down in Georgia

Nothing was as real

As the street beneath my feet

Descending into air

The cauldron was a-bubbling

The flesh was lean

And the women moved forward

Like piranhas in a stream

And they spread themselves before me

An offering so sweet

And they beckoned and they beckoned

Come on, darling, eat

Eat the summer cannibals

Eat, eat, eat

You eat the summer cannibals

Eat, eat, eat

They circled around me

Natives in a ring

And I saw their souls a-witherin'

Like snakes in chains

And they wrapped themselves around me

Mmm, what a treat

And they rattled their tales hissin'

Come on let's eat

Eat the summer cannibals

Eat, eat, eat

You eat the summer cannibals

Eat, eat, eat

I felt a risin' in my throat

The girls are sayin' grace

And the air the viscous air

Pressed against my face

And It all got too damn much for me

It just got too damn rough

And I pushed away my plate

And said, "Boys, I've had enough"

And I laid upon the table

Another piece of meat

And I opened up my veins to them

And said, "Come on, eat"

Eat the summer cannibals

Eat, eat, eat

You eat the summer cannibals

Eat, eat, eat

You eat the summer cannibals

Eat, eat, eat

You eat the summer cannibals

Eat, eat, eat

'Cause I was down in Georgia

Nothing was as real

As the street beneath my feet

Descendin' into hell

So eat, eat, eat

You eat, eat, eat

You eat, eat, eat

Eat, eat, eat
