Darling, I'm so hungry today All the halls of Queen Victoria, I've let them fall away Just to do what we can only ever say But we're speaking the language of flowers I know your father has the money of the Tsar He's got men down in the harbour, unloading ships from India And though the hand of fortune reaches far There's a place beyond the limit of his powers Where we feast on each other's bodies, where we claw and raise our breath And lines intertwine, we die a little death Where there isn't any border to our love We're going out tonight, to the Cannibal Club They found your brother in the alley with some men They put him on a ship and sent him to Van Diemen's Land To the edge of all we know and understand And he disappeared into the south forever Now everybody has a law they live and need There are times I feel it's torn up as the meat between my teeth Now I know what to do to get relief What there is to save and what there is to sever Revolution, revolution, it's a well-repeated song There's a new world on the way that's always coming on 'Til it's time to throw it down into the mud In the street below the windows of the Cannibal Club The morning breaks into the room Your dress is on the coffee table And in the space between our skin I feel the thing that pulled us here The morning breaks into the room Your dress is on the coffee table And in the space between our skin I feel the thing that pulled us here Leaning over the balcony, they're playing their sitars There's a smell of something coming from the abattoirs But we feel the pleasure of the flesh and blood In the room of many mirrors, the Cannibal Club Revolution, revolution, it's a well-repeated song There's a new world on the way that's always coming on And we hold it tightly in a silken glove We hold the future in our fingers, the Cannibal Club We feast on each other's bodies, yeah, we claw and raise our breath And lines intertwine, we die a little death Now the feeling in me is rising to a flood We're going out tonight, to the Cannibal Club We're going out tonight, to the Cannibal Club We're going out tonight, to the Cannibal Club |
