"He's a real cannibal." she goes:
"I think I'll call him roderigo"
/
dress him up in dark clothes, sell him away
standing underneath her gun
"sit up straight or I'll hurt you"
/
you know he's not her only son, just the strongest
CHORUS: 1:03- 1:27
Tied him down to her tree
stayed fit to name him what's he's going to be yeah
tied him up with her rope you know it
stained her neck but it can't hold Roderigo
Guitar solo: 1:28- 1:53

"I'm the real animal," she goes
she wants to call me roderigo
/
tie me down with all her rope until I can't breathe
she can't help but beat me down
into a brand new roderigo
/
I'll slip away without a sound, into the air
CHORUS: 2:44- 3:08
tied me down to her tree
stayed fit to name me what's I'm going to be yeah
tied me up with her rope you know it
stained her neck but it can't hold Roderigo
