Summer Cannibals Lyrics - Land (1975-2002) - Patti Smith

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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
