Lyrics

Cannibal

Up on the rooftop, my head explodes

Just like the Fourth of July

I'm about to say I'm about to want you so

I just feel blue, like so many other times

Don't put my name to shame

I listen when my mama calls me

I ain't no bald-faced liar

Trying to take anybody at all

See, yeah

I listen when my mama calls me

I ain't no bald-faced liar

Trying to take anybody at all

See, yeah

Gotta let the live wire go

Gotta get the socket off my hand

Why'd you lead me around for so long like nobody can?

Don't you know what kind of guy I am?

Don't put my name to shame

I listen when my mama calls me

I ain't no bald-faced liar

Trying to take anybody at all

See, yeah

I listen when my mama calls me

I ain't no bald-faced liar

Trying to take anybody at all

See?

Why'd you lead me around for so long like nobody can?

Don't you know what kinda guy I am?

Yeah, don't put my name to shame

I listen when my mama calls me

I ain't no bald-faced liar

Trying to take anybody at all

See, yeah

I listen when my mama calls me

I ain't no bald-faced liar

Trying to take anybody at all

See?
