Stomach Vs. Heart

Barenaked Ladies

Born On A Pirate Ship

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 you 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
But 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've gained all this weight out of love, not hate
And I got all this love to give (gimme 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
