- NICK CAVE - Cannibal’s Hymn Lyrics
- Uploaded by LOVE4LYRICS at Pastebin.com
- 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
