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-withering
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 rising in my throat
The girls a-saying grace
And the air, the viscous air
Pressed against my face
And it all got too damn much for me
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
Descending into hell
So eat, eat, eat
You eat, eat, eat
You eat, eat, eat
Eat, eat, eat
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-withering
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 rising in my throat
The girls a-saying grace
And the air, the viscous air
Pressed against my face
And it all got too damn much for me
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
Descending into hell
So eat, eat, eat
You eat, eat, eat
You eat, eat, eat
Eat, eat, eat
