The Wolverine
Carnivore A.M. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Obviously looking for a fight
300 pounds of flesh and lust
Try to find their way through the night
Clicking heels and rattling chains
Cannon barrels loaded
Radar on for a sitting duck
Suddenly her eagle eyes
Seize the perfect victim
Brain off, head down
He spreads her wings to pick him
Her claws grab mercilessly
This mouse is trapped, so
Don‘t you dare to dance with the wolverine
Don‘t you dare to dance with the wolverine
300 pounds of flesh and lust
Swarm out night after night
Don‘t take no prisoners
She will eat those men alive
Caught in her stranglehold
There is no escape
A cloud of perfume thick and sweet
Barely hides her shape
Queen bee or butterfly
Transforming is that easy
Prancing she ensnares her prey
Until they give up wheezy
Trapped in her web
Mama warned you, so
Don‘t you dare to dance with the wolverine
Don‘t you dare to dance with the wolverine
She‘s killer bee and jaguar
Lion, bat and tiger
A graceful hippopotamus
Skillful like a spider
She‘s the one
Mama warned you ‘bout
Don‘t you dare to dance with the wolverine
Don‘t you dare to dance with the wolverine
