Strange Animal |
| When the strange animal |
| With the strange set of plants |
| Came to town last July |
| There was blood on his hands |
| And it now comes to light |
| He had been in a fight |
| With some government men |
| Who were high as a kite |
| What a strange animal we a-a-a-are (2x) |
| There are songs that are sealed |
| That will not let you in |
| But he came on a song |
| That was open to him |
| To get out of the rain |
| It was cold, it was strong |
| Well the strange animal |
| Walked right into the song |
| What a strange animal we a-a-a-are (2x) |
| What a strange (4x) |
| What a strange animal we a-a-a-are (5x) |
| «I had nowhere to go |
| So I entered your song |
| So I entered your song |
| Hope you don’t think me wrong |
| Well it’s warm and its dry |
| It’s a nasty old night |
| It’s a nasty old night |
| And I must look a sight» |
| There’s something 'bout him that is frightening |
| And right on cue, a bolt of lightning |
| «I'll just sit over here |
| Till the cold disappears |
| Would you think it a sin |
| If I start chiming in?» |
| What a strange animal we a-a-a-are (4x) |
| We are |
| What a strange animal we are |
| «If I may be quite frank |
| And I’m not pulling rank |
| And I know I’m a guest |
| And I know you know best |
| But this song lacks a heart |
| Comes off overly smart |
| An emotional core |
| Ain’t that what songs are for?» |
| There’s something 'bout him I’m not liking |
| Somebody to tell to get hiking |
| «But you need to be clear |
| And a lot more sincere |
| Wake me up, will you friend |
| When the verse finally ends?» |
| What a strange animal we a-a-a-are (4x) |
| We are (3x) |
| But the ones in the song |
| Who had been there so long |
| Who, impatient, has seethed |
| And they asked him to leave |
| But he said «Not so fast! |
| Unaware of my past |
| You allowed me inside; |
| You can’t push me aside |
| When the song lets me in |
| O can see where its been — |
| If it’s broken some hearts |
| If it’s been in the charts |
| But this song shows no signs |
| Of a grander design |
| It attained it or not |
| What you know from the start» |
| «you're in need of a fix |
| Of a totally remix |
| So I must clue you all |
| I’m a strange animal |
| And I find you quite dull |
| Here’s that chorus again |
| That can stay |
| Here’s the end" |
