Jewel - Carnivore Lyrics
So much space can fit in a sigh
More than words can say
I'm left here standing with my hands all awkward
Trying to mend space
I used to know you
Your substance has been subtracted
Word by word
Silence in my ears, where once you offered your conviction
Your promises are dry beads that crack with nostalgia
But that's alright, that's okay
Never shoulda given myself to you anyway
Never trust your pink, fleshy heart
Never trust your pink, fleshy heart
To a carnivore
Your soul is an inkstain
Your perfection is amend
And you're as fragile as your thoughtlessness
But you're as strong as you can bend
You could only believe in embryos
So you held all your high hopes through a telescope
Lavender haunted you so I could
Only laugh in yellow
Yes, you have a genius for subtlety
I slip through the fingers of your ambiguity
But that's alright, that's okay
Never shoulda given myself to you anyway
Never trust your pink, fleshy heart
Never trust your pink, fleshy heart
To a carnivore
And I don't know what I did
But I won't do it again,
this time I'll be my own best friend
And I take back my songs and my poetry
And next time I won't be so easy to read
And I'll never trust my pink, fleshy no
Never trust my pink, fleshy heart, no
Never trust my pink, fleshy heart
To a carnivore
To a carnivore
To a carnivore

Jewel Carnivore Comments
This was in Michigan, and yes this the best!!!!
where you at now? thanks for Jewel.
Yup, this is by far the best version, if not her best song ever. The emotion in this version is amazing. She should have recorded it back when she was still bitter and hungry. The best version of Foolish Games also comes from the same show. Incredible.
What show is this?
Does anyone know where and when this was recorded? I'm uploading the bootleg songs I burned onto CDs to Soundcloud and I'd like to put in correct information.
Marjorie L S This was part of the Budweiser Saturday Night concert series back in 1996 or 1997.
Mines pretty good too!
This is the version I burned onto a cd back in 2002. Lost the cd. Thank you for posting.
Marjorie L S this is the version I DL on Napster WAY back in the day!
Thanks for posting this. I've searched for it for years. Was always a favorite of mine. Have no idea why she never released it.
she will be on her next album, including this forgotten lyric.. the power of twitter.. so glad i uploaded this 6 years ago :)
The JewelStock versions, both of them, blow this one away. It's a HARD find though.
We ALL LOVE YOU { JEWEL,} ForeveR, Love The JerK, a.k.a. The ASS HOLE, st. Gary GanN,I Am So SorrY,Forgive Me, A.K.A.Bruce AlmightY !!!
i've been listening to this song on my DDDelight CD, and I like it so much that I wanted to hear other versions...but it looks like i've been spoiled already! It's so intense.
She says for Chris
how can i pirate this version? ha.
I so agree! Best version ever!! DDDelight!! :) EDAs!
this fucking rocks.
It's not close to the best version in my opinion. It IS the best that is available right now. The best she ever performed were the 2 she performed at JewelStock in 1996 with the band she recorded what was supposed to be her 2nd album (album got scrapped). At Jewelstock both were recorded live by Atlantic Records but we were not allowed to release it with the JewelStock tapes. They are STUNNING. I plan to ask her management if I can finally release them after all these years. It's time.
Bolt, I know you commented 8 years ago... any word on the recordings?!?!?!
agreed ... fave angelfood! I love the Foolish Games on there too!
I agree with your post on the eda list! Best version!! DDDelight was my fav angelfood!! :)
wow very clear, loving it!!! =) I was just twittering about this and Nikos song and nicotine love.... talk about dark mood jajaja! thnx 4 puttin this up!
