Lyrics Barenaked Ladies

Barenaked Ladies

Stomach vs. Heart

In through my veins, without brains,

I involuntarily take what I need, then I bleed

And it comes right back to me

But guts only eat

And sometimes they repeat on you

Keeping on your toes or crouched above the loo

That's what you get when you confuse your stomach

with your heart

That's what you get when you confuse your stomach

with your heart

Blood turns from blue into red

'Cause of oxygen that it's fed

And I turn back to blue,

'Cause I'm losing you

But Tummy just growls

Not real words, mostly vowels

And I always forget sometimes why

Gratification can cause constipation

If organs are left to die

That's what you get when you confuse your stomach

with your heart

That's what you get when you confuse your stomach

with your heart

I gained all this weight out of love, not hate

I've got all this love to give (give me a break)

I'd love to sleep in late, but that dessert looks

great

Was it something I said, or was it something I

ate?

Hearts beat in sync, beat in time

Beat in bodies like hers and mine

But I fed only one

And look what it's done

'Cause I've run out of blood and I'm chewing my

cud

And my gastrointestinal festival's best of all

Cardiovascular questions they ask you are

Less than the answers they give you like cancer

and

That's what you get when you confuse your stomach

with your heart

That's what you get when you confuse your stomach

with your heart
