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,
7
babe, and rock you
8
But if you're gonna dine with them cannibals
9
Sooner or later, darling, you're gonna get eaten
10
But I'm glad you've come around
11
here with your animals
12
And your heart that is bruised but unbeaten
13
And beating like a drum
14
I will sit like a bird on a fence
15
Sing you songs with a happy ending
16
Swoop down and tell you that it don't make sense
17
To attack the very thing you're defending
18
Didn't I just buy that dress for you?
19
That pink paper pinafore that you keep mending
20
Well, if you're gonna dine with the cannibals
21
Sooner or later, darling, you're gonna get eaten
22
But I'm glad you've come around
23
here with your animals
24
And your heart that is banging and beating
25
And banging like a gong
26
I can see that they've hurt you, dear
27
Here is some moonlight to cloak us
28
And I will never desert you here
29
Unpetaled among the crocus
30
Allow me, my love, to allay your fear
31
As I swim, in and out of focus
32
But if you're gonna dine with the cannibals
33
Sooner or later, darling, you're gonna get eaten
34
But I'm glad you've come around
35
here with your animals
36
And your heart that is bruised but bleating
37
And bleeding like a lamb
38
Banging like a gong
39
Beating like a drum
