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
