[Verse 1] 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 its banks, babe, and rock you [Chorus] If youre gonna dine with them cannibals Sooner or later, darling, youre gonna get eaten But Im glad youve come around here with your animals And your heart that is bruised but unbeaten And beating like a drum [Verse 2] I will sit like a bird on a fence Sing you songs with a happy ending Swoop down and tell you that it dont make much sense To attack the very thing youre defending Didnt I just buy that dress for you? That pink paper pinafore that you keep mending [Chorus] Well, if youre gonna dine with the cannibals Sooner or later, darling, youre gonna get eaten But Im glad youve come around here with your animals And your heart that is banging and beating And banging like a gong [Bridge] I can see that theyve 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 [Chorus 2] But if youre gonna dine with the cannibals Sooner or later, darling, youre gonna get eaten But Im glad youve come around here with your animals And your heart that is bruised but bleating And bleeding like a lamb [Outro] Banging like a gong Beating like a drum
