Written by Elton John and Davey Johnstone Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
We follow the dog who follows the cat We swallow the chain if they don't fight back We come and go, just getting by We got a flag on the moon, we got a hole in the sky
And each man kills the things he loves It's an edible romance we all dream of And love eats love, eats love Love is a cannibal Woman is a criminal She have the hunger But man is the animal And love eats love, eats love Love is a cannibal
We live in the woods but we hate the trees We kill off the jungle but we save the leaves The family face is painted grey
