lyrics

Cannibals

My name is Juan Gerardo Vaz Garcia.
I’m a carpenter and fisherman by trade.
First taste I had of love
Was in the port of
Palamós with Ukrainian traveller.

But soon we found it wasn’t quite enough;
The vitality just never really lasts.
We fought like we danced
And we danced like we fought.
And the blood - oh, my god, the blood!

Sometimes you’ve got to get a little dirty
To taste the most exquisite of tastes.
Flay the flesh away,
Plate it on a plate;
We are cannibals, we’ll eat each other clean.

I am Marguerite, I have a dumpling for a husband;
A crackle-headed sod in every way.
When he’d mock me on my looks,
I’d say, ‘never trust a skinny cook
Or you might just eat your words one day.’

Then it happened. Oh, it happened!
I cut him up. That’s right, I cut him up!
It’s dog eat dog,
Take the whole hog,
And, frankly, he wasn’t so tough.

Sometimes you’ve got to get a little dirty
To taste the most exquisite of tastes.
Flay the flesh away,
Plate it on a plate;
We are cannibals, we’ll eat each other clean.

John, my name is John.
I’m a prominent lawyer's son.
Week after week
I’m here for the meet;
I’ve barely missed a single one.

You might remember Little Lenny Letter?
He suddenly settled a six year vendetta.
And Lukretia got her start,
Shipped out at dark,
For a place where everyone -
Where everyone tears everyone apart.

And all of you know what I’m talking about;
It’s happening every day:
We devour the weak
Piece by piece
In the most ordinary and terrifying ways.

We devour the weak
Piece by piece
In the most ordinary
and terrifying ways.

Ahh, ahh, ahh!
Ahh, ahh, ahh!

Flay the flesh away,
Plate it on a plate;
We are cannibals, we’ll eat each other clean.

Day by day,
In ordinary ways,
We are cannibals, we’ll eat each other clean.
