Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - Cannibal's Hymn Lyrics
You have a heart and I have a keyLie back and let me unlock youThose heathens you hang with down by the seaAll they want to do is defrock youI know a river, where we can dreamIt will swell up, burst it's banks,babe, and rock youBut if you're gonna dine with them cannibalsSooner or later, darling, you're gonna get eatenBut I'm glad you've come aroundhere with your animalsAnd your heart that is bruised but unbeatenAnd beating like a drumI will sit like a bird on a fenceSing you songs with a happy endingSwoop down and tell you that it don't make senseTo attack the very thing you're defendingDidn't I just buy that dress for you?That pink paper pinafore that you keep mendingWell, if you're gonna dine with the cannibalsSooner or later, darling, you're gonna get eatenBut I'm glad you've come aroundhere with your animalsAnd your heart that is banging and beatingAnd banging like a gongI can see that they've hurt you, dearHere is some moonlight to cloak usAnd I will never desert you hereUnpetaled among the crocusAllow me, my love, to allay your fearAs I swim, in and out of focusBut if you're gonna dine with the cannibalsSooner or later, darling, you're gonna get eatenBut I'm glad you've come aroundhere with your animalsAnd your heart that is bruised but bleatingAnd bleeding like a lambBanging like a gongBeating like a drum
