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

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
