Cannibal Lyrics by Silversun Pickups

The Singles Collection

2014

[Verse 1]
When the king
Comes down to speak
With animals
Animals
With his claws
Out for a feast
A cannibal
Cannibal

[Verse 2]
When we crawl
Out to the brink
To meet and greet
With a wink
Pull the rug out
From underneath
This cannibal
Cannibal

[Chorus]
Who is gonna break the ice?
No room for shallow alibis
Who will be the first to bite?
Or do we keep on playing nice
Until the next time?

[Bridge]
Hey
It's too late
I've been here before the change
This latest phase

[Verse 3]
If the king
Bows to our feet
A cannibal's
A cannibal

[Chorus]
Who is gonna break the ice?
No room for shallow alibis
Who will be the first to bite?
Or do we keep on playing nice
Until the next time?
