Cannibal's hymn

by Nick Cave

lyricscopy.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
