Barenaked Ladies - Stomach vs. Heart Lyrics

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
Well, 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
Then 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
Well, 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?

Heart beats in sync, beat in time
Beat in bodies likes 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
