1
You have a heart and I have a key
2
Lie back and let me unlock you
3
Those heathens you hang with down by the sea
4
All they want to do is defrock you
5
I know a river, where we can dream
6
It will swell up, burst it's banks, babe, and rock you
7
You're gonna dine with them cannibals
8
Sooner or later, darling, you're gonna get eaten
9
But I'm glad you've come around here with your animals
10
And your heart that is bruised but unbeaten
11
And beating like a drum
12
I will sit like a bird on a fence
13
Sing you songs with a happy ending
14
Swoop down and tell you that it don't make much sense
15
To attack the very thing you're defending
16
Didn't I just buy that dress for you?
17
That pink paper pinafore that you keep mending
18
If you're gonna dine with them cannibals
19
Well sooner or later, darling, you're gonna get eaten
20
But I'm glad you've come around here with your animals
21
And your heart that is banging and beating
22
And banging like a gong
23
I can see that they've hurt you, dear
24
Here is some moonlight to cloak us
25
And I will never desert you here
26
Unpetaled among the crocus
27
Allow me, my love, to allay your fear
28
As I swim in and out of focus
29
If you're gonna dine with the cannibals
30
Well sooner or later, darling, you're gonna get eaten
31
But I'm glad you've come around here with your animals
32
And your heart that is bruised but bleating
33
And bleeding like a lamb
34
Banging like a gong, beating like a drum
