Summer Cannibals

Patty Smyth

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
