Eaten Alive Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Animal stalking you at night
I'm a sucker for someone
And I got the prey in sight
Lying on a bed of leaves
In the modern times
You forget and let your spirit breathe
[Verse 2]
Capture me, my blood is red
Another victim of your ritual
For you, my skin is shed
Ecstasy ain't what you find
In the modern world
One flick of my tongue changes
The meaning of the world
And you say
[Refrain]
That's impossible
That's not impossible to do, oh
And you digest what I can see
The taste of you can be
[Chorus: Diana Ross & Michael Jackson]
I don't wanna get eaten alive
'Cause you're so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust, you see
I don't wanna get eaten alive
To be eaten alive
Eaten alive
I don't ever wanna be
Eaten alive
(Uh-huh)
Animal stalking you at night
I'm a sucker for someone
And I got the prey in sight
Lying on a bed of leaves
In the modern times
You forget and let your spirit breathe
[Verse 2]
Capture me, my blood is red
Another victim of your ritual
For you, my skin is shed
Ecstasy ain't what you find
In the modern world
One flick of my tongue changes
The meaning of the world
And you say
[Refrain]
That's impossible
That's not impossible to do, oh
And you digest what I can see
The taste of you can be
[Chorus: Diana Ross & Michael Jackson]
I don't wanna get eaten alive
'Cause you're so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust, you see
I don't wanna get eaten alive
To be eaten alive
Eaten alive
I don't ever wanna be
Eaten alive
(Uh-huh)
[Verse 3]
Now, I got you on the run
The quicker my senses
The chance is, I'm the faster one
I know the universal law
Primeval times
With a little stimulation
It'll come once more, and you say
[Refrain]
That's impossible
It's not impossible to do, oh
And you digest what I can see
The taste of you can be
[Chorus: Diana Ross & Michael Jackson]
I don't wanna get eaten alive
'Cause you're so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust
You see
I don't wanna get eaten alive
To be eaten alive
Eaten alive
I don't ever wanna be
Eaten alive
(Uh-huh)
(Oh)
Now, I got you on the run
The quicker my senses
The chance is, I'm the faster one
I know the universal law
Primeval times
With a little stimulation
It'll come once more, and you say
[Refrain]
That's impossible
It's not impossible to do, oh
And you digest what I can see
The taste of you can be
[Chorus: Diana Ross & Michael Jackson]
I don't wanna get eaten alive
'Cause you're so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust
You see
I don't wanna get eaten alive
To be eaten alive
Eaten alive
I don't ever wanna be
Eaten alive
(Uh-huh)
(Oh)
[Instrumental]
[Chorus: Diana Ross & Michael Jackson]
I don't wanna get eaten alive
'Cause you're so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust
You see (Oh baby)
I don't wanna get eaten alive
To be eaten alive
Tie me to a tree, crawl all over me (Eaten alive)
You can rip my shirt, drag me in the dirt (Eaten alive)
I will be your slave, anything you say (Eaten alive)
I don't ever wanna be eaten alive
(Oh no; Uh-huh)
I don't wanna get eaten alive
'Cause you're so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust, you see
I don't wanna get eaten alive
'Cause you're so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust, you see
I don't wanna get eaten alive
'Cause you're dangerous
No more hearts I can trust, you see
I don't wanna get eaten alive
To be eaten alive
[Chorus: Diana Ross & Michael Jackson]
I don't wanna get eaten alive
'Cause you're so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust
You see (Oh baby)
I don't wanna get eaten alive
To be eaten alive
Tie me to a tree, crawl all over me (Eaten alive)
You can rip my shirt, drag me in the dirt (Eaten alive)
I will be your slave, anything you say (Eaten alive)
I don't ever wanna be eaten alive
(Oh no; Uh-huh)
I don't wanna get eaten alive
'Cause you're so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust, you see
I don't wanna get eaten alive
'Cause you're so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust, you see
I don't wanna get eaten alive
'Cause you're dangerous
No more hearts I can trust, you see
I don't wanna get eaten alive
To be eaten alive
[Outro: Michael Jackson]
Tie me to a tree, crawl all over me (Eaten alive)
You can rip my shirt, drag me in the dirt (Eaten alive)
I will be your slave, anything you say (Eaten alive)
I don't ever wanna be eaten alive
Tie me to a tree, crawl all over me (Eaten alive)
You can rip my shirt, drag me in the dirt (Eaten alive)
I will be your slave, anything you say (Eaten alive)
I don't ever wanna be eaten alive
