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 
 But if 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 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
 Well, if you're gonna dine with the 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 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
 But if you're gonna dine with the 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 bleating
 And bleeding like a lamb
 Banging like a gong
 Beating like a drum
