Cannibal Lyrics
[groaning]
Hey
You're in my heart
You're eating my heart
And I'll stop eating my heart
[I'm a] canni, canni, cannibal
Hey
You don't eat my stomach
You're eating my stomach
And I'll stop eating my stomach
Canni, canni, canni
Cannibal
Hey
You don't eat my brain
You're eating my brain
And I'll stop eating my brain
Canni, canni
Canni, canni, cannibal
Hey
You don't eat my heart
You're eating my stomach
And I'll stop eating my brain
Canni, canni, canni
Cannibal
Hey
You're in my heart
You're eating my heart
And I'll stop eating my heart
[I'm a] canni, canni, cannibal
Hey
You don't eat my stomach
You're eating my stomach
And I'll stop eating my stomach
Canni, canni, canni
Cannibal
Hey
You don't eat my brain
You're eating my brain
And I'll stop eating my brain
Canni, canni
Canni, canni, cannibal
Hey
You don't eat my heart
You're eating my stomach
And I'll stop eating my brain
Canni, canni, canni
Cannibal

Genius Annotation
David Yow told Songfacts:
[Laughing] Wowee. Whew. Wow. I think that’s the first song I ever wrote. I wrote the music and the lyrics to that. I had been in a punk rock band before that, and my girlfriend, Carla, who was just a sweet, wonderful, beautiful girl, had dumped me.
A few of the songs on that first Scratch Acid record are kind of about her and Cannibal is one of them. I mean, after she dumped me, I just felt sick for so long. I had headaches, I had stomachaches. My heart was broken.
