I Wanna Be A Sheep |
| I was a wolf for so long, I went up toward the moon |
| And devoured the defenseless sheep like baloons |
| That were tied to a railing and would anyway soon |
| Be deflated |
| I met you in between my carnivorous meals |
| And your hair was so soft and your body was real |
| And the layers of leaves blew away to reveal |
| A new pathway |
| Now I’m tryin' to hide my love away, be discrete |
| But you’re a reason to change and end my violent streak |
| A reason to be normal, a reason to bleed like a sheep |
| I just wanna be a sheep |
| I just wanna be a sheep following right along with the crowds |
| A ballon with my head floating up through the clouds |
| And a little white string holding me to the ground |
| Could that be you? |
| It could be you |
| I just wanna be a sheep |
| Now the clock on the wall plays a sinister game |
| It treats every twelve hours exactly the same |
| And you cannot return and you can’t get away |
| It keeps going |
| And everything you’ve done you can never undo |
| So I knew that it’s useless to try and be new |
| But when you keep your eye on me, steady and blue |
| I keep trying anyways |
| And that eye watching me makes me not want to hurt |
| I don’t want to draw anymore blood on your shirt |
| And I don’t want to stay up and paw through the dirt |
| I need sleep |
| I just wanna be a sheep |
| I just wanna be a sheep and be gentle and docile and dumb |
| And o hear a voice call me and know I must come |
| And a shepherd to lead me and to forget where I’m from |
| Could that be you? |
| It could be you |
| I just wanna, I just wanna be a sheep |
| Yes, I am the one who’s been killing the flock |
| I admit it and now that you’re over the shock |
| Would you take me and keep me and turn back the clock |
| With your pretty little hand? |
| I just wanna be a sheep |
