Lyrics for Summer Cannibals by Patti Smith:
| | | Artist: | Patti Smith |
| | Album: | Gone Again | | Track: | Summer Cannibals | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 94 | | | | 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
likes snakes in
chains
and they wrapped themselves around me
ummm what a treat
and they rattled
their tales hissin'
come on let's eat
REFRAIN
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
REFRAIN
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 | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
