verse 1: animalistic with your insticts walk around confident that your shit stinks leave your mark on em' and you can't be bargained with shit's so butter but they sellin' you margarine don't buy it, keep trying save your strength for what you been eyeing both eyes open, patches ain't pirate caribbean dreams are unseen but i digress into the present tense, we all hesitant ain't one of us heaven sent emotions build up so you better vent stick out like sore thumbs in that leather vest but even in that thing you are not an an-imal even in hampden on the avenue fanny pack looking like a kangaroo whatever you need to keep up that mandible
chorus: 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
verse 2: ups and downs with the peaks and valleys I reach my palace and its in the alley --no cage, more like my jungle thoughts run free but my ego's humbled wish everyone still could hope for the things they dreamed and could leave that dope for but I'm a realist and I'm revealin' the things that cut me, so fuck these feelings cut the reeling, it's time to cast again blast off, mask off, fuck the oxygen time continuum my mind is asking when the pain will stop we fade to black again shades of grey absolutes no truth to em' -- no line in the sand I cruise through em' that troll that bridge I'm used to em' pay no toll easy pass never lose to em' price is wrong so I shop for deals no carrey cuz' barker has got the wheel long road but we never gonna stop for meals we just hammer on - like a glockenspeil cop a feel on the tits of life- I just might while I relish the hate I taste it's like spice on my tongue my ven-om does not require spite unliked- thirst is quenched without sprite
