1
I was down in Georgia
2
nothing was as real
3
as the street beneath my feet
4
descending into air
5
The cauldron was a-bubbling
6
the flesh was lean
7
and the women moved forward
8
like piranhas in a stream
9
they spread themselves before me
10
an offering so sweet
11
and they beckoned and they beckoned
12
come on darling eat
13
Eat the summer cannibals
14
eat eat eat
15
you eat the summer cannibals
16
eat eat eat
17
They circled around me
18
natives in a ring
19
and I saw their souls a-withering
20
like snakes in chains
21
and they wrapped themselves around me
22
ummm what a treat
23
and they rattled their tales hissin'
24
come on let's eat
25
Eat the summer cannibals
26
eat eat eat
27
you eat the summer cannibals
28
eat eat eat
29
I felt a rising in my throat
30
the girls a-saying grace
31
and the air the viscous air
32
pressed against my face
33
and it all got too damn much for me
34
just got too damn rough
35
and I pushed away my plate
36
and said boys I've had enough
37
and I laid upon the table
38
another piece of meat
39
and I opened up my veins to them
40
and said come on eat
41
Eat the summer cannibals
42
eat eat eat
43
you eat the summer cannibals
44
eat eat eat
45
you eat the summer cannibals
46
eat eat eat
47
you eat the summer cannibals
48
eat eat eat
49
Cause I was down in Georgia
50
nothing was as real
51
as the street beneath my feet
52
descending into hell
53
So eat eat eat
54
you eat eat eat
55
you eat eat eat
56
eat eat eat
