Lyrics

You're such a tease,
You always leave me wanting more,
And you could turn a guy like Gandhi into a carnivore.
Cuz you look like you've got great taste, you're good enough to eat.
Maybe with a nice Chianti and some fava beans.

I've got a hunger that can't be sated normally,
Here's your invitation to my Donner Party...

I want you more than just inside of me,
And I'll take that super-sized.
I want to be studied by Margaret Mead,
and I'll bake you right into a pie,
This cannibal will eat you alive.

I'm into lust not into vengeance, I'm no Andronicus,
Carnality not hubris, I'm no Tantalus.
When I get turned on, I'm a barbarian,
My tastes decidedly non-vegetarian.

You always satisfy my craving that's so big,
I get hungry for a hunk of the long pig.

I want you more than just inside of me,
And I'll take that super-sized.
I want to be studied by Margaret Mead,
and I'll bake you right into a pie,
This cannibal will eat you alive.

Every time I see you, I just can't touch you enough.
Every time I'm with you, I just can't taste you enough.
I can't confuse, I can't control you,
I can't abuse you, I can't cajole you,
I can't surprise you and I can't imbibe you, monopolize you, osmosicize you,
I just can't make you enough a part of me.

I've got a hunger that can't be sated normally,
Here's your invitation to my Donner Party...

I want you more than just inside of me,
And I'll take that super-sized.
I want to be studied by Margaret Mead,
and I'll bake you right into a pie,
I want you more than just inside of me,
And I'll take that super-sized.
Your sweet taste is the key to my recipe,
and I'll bake you right into a pie,
This cannibal will eat you alive.

Great song. Excellent intensity, energy, drive for that length of 5+ min. Generally when reviewing songs, if I see it's 4 or 5 min, I know there's a 95% chance I'm going to say it would be more powerful if it were shorter. Not here. You made this work with a variety of sounds well placed to keep it fascinating. Especially liked the parts between 1:25 and 1:32 and 2:40 to 2:48. Great with that staccato thing going on that REALLY sounds big. Great drumming too, brought BIG dynamic to the song. Very well done with that BIG peak at 3:37 too, and the way the sound eased off that zenith. Truly great stuff, so well delivered.
