Carnivore Lyrics - Liz Phair

You've told me maybe a thousand times 

A smart girl would've recognized 

There isn't any business in the street 

But some nights, Daddy 

I catch you wrapped up tight like a sleeping bag 

You're softly twisting a pinata suspended out of reach 

But I know with one good slap 

I could take care of that 

But who wants to loose the beast of spring? 

I guess it started off slow 

But it's picking up speed 

And it's gaining on me 

Like a carnivore 

Daylight catches me by surprise 

Almost every night 

And kicks my way another hole to sleep 

I guess it started off slow 

But it's picking up speed 

And it's gaining on me 

Like a carnivore
