There was a time when my world
Was filled with darkness
Then I stopped dreaming now
I’m supposed to fill it up with something
In your eyes I see the eyes of somebody
I knew before, long long long ago
But I’m still trying to make my mind up
Am I free or am I tied up?
I change shapes just to hide in this place
But I’m still, I’m still an animal
Nobody knows it but me when i slip
Yeah i slip, I’m still an animal
There is a hole and I tried to fill up with money
But it gets bigger till your hopes is always
In your eyes I see the eyes of somebody
That could be strong
Tell me if I’m wrong
And now I’m pulling your disguise up
Are you free or are you tied up?
I change shapes just to hide in this place
But I’m still, I’m still an animal
Nobody knows it but me when I slip
Yeah I slip, I’m still an animal.
p.s. - The Burning Ear did an excellent piece on the band and music. Definitely worth checking out.
