The Animal Speaks
Composer(s): Robert Kidney
Performer(s): The Golden Palominos; John Lydon; The Numbers Band



Gotta cross these night sky lights
Down through the doorway, where I could lose a life
The mess, obsessed, immersed in the lewd perfume
Feel some woman in the room
Maybe somewhere in the room
See, watching where you feel, the way you walked back down
Not about turning heads
Pretending not to know what it's all about
But it's about how you move me
And how I'd like to make you feel
(But in your mind charades?)
Know what I am, know what I am
Alone, afraid, living fast as I can
No one will save me if I cannot save myself
It's in my mind sometimes at night
And I wait, for daylight, for you
Eye to eye, the feeling rushes inside
Eyes go wide they look away, already feel what's left to say
Is it great to you?
Does the desperation show?
It's in my mind sometimes at night when I'm waiting for the daylight
But nothing is said
My mind is wound too tight
Strangers been talking, pretending to know me
Do you believe every lie they say?
(Ha ha ha)
Like I think all these women really want me
And all these people - they're running around
Ripping it up and tearing it down
It's about how you move me, and how I'd like to make you feel
It's in my mind sometimes at night while I wait for the daylight
And I'm waiting eye to eye
