Summer Cannibals
Patti Smith Song Lyrics
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 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 ummm 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 |
