The Heart Is a Cannibal (Live at the Paradiso)

This ah, this is the first, we haven't played this song
Since the last tour, we're busting it out tonight
It's called, "The Heart Is a Cannibal"
Give me that coding

She hates you, then she loves you more
Underneath the shadows of her thoughts
Shadows of her thoughts, she rings a bell for you
I wish that she was a statue made of gold
And nobody could bring her down

Goodness knows I just don't like sadness
She cries before she wakes
And so my friend if you love her
Don't turn away
Don't fight it
Don't run away
We're people, and we're animals
You're thunder, and the heart is a cannibal

When ask you, "Do you love me more
Than all the men that have ever come before, ever come before?"
And when I'm like a storm
Kiss me, hurt me, heal me with your words
So nobody could ever bring me down

Goodness knows I just don't like sadness
She cries before she wakes
And so my friend if you love her
Don't turn away
Don't fight it
Don't run away
We're people, and we're animals
You're thunder, and the heart is a cannibal

When love is gone, your words are calm
Your thoughts are holy, your days are long
Your blood gets colder, your face is old
And the days flow by like water
You miss the stormy weather
And she was gold

Goodness knows I just don't like sadness
She cries before she wakes
And so my friend if you love her
Don't turn away
Don't fight it
Don't run away
We're people, and we're animals
You're thunder, and the heart is a cannibal

The heart is a cannibal
The heart is a cannibal
The heart is a cannibal!
Thank you
