[Verse 1]

I was sure I was right

I was king for a day every night

I was wrong, I was wrong

And I knew where to go

Every step was a step up the road

I was on, I was on

As I reach for the sky

It was clear I couldn't fly

'Cause I'm not that animal

[Chorus]

All the animals are running after me

It's all that I can do to stay on two feet

All the animals are running to the sea

And I give it away, every night, every day

Every word that I say, I'm an animal

[Verse 2]

So I land on a stage

And I find that I'm slipping away

Let it roll, let it roll

And the heart plays a game

Trying to fool the reptilian brain

In control, in control

Where I fly or I fight

Wanna look into your eyes

There's nothing but animal there

[Chorus]

All the animals are running after me

It's all that I can do to stay on two feet

All the animals are running to the sea

And I give it away, every night, every day

Every word that I say, I'm an animal

[Bridge]

So let your walls come crashing down

Let your dress fall to the ground

Let me see your smile

Let the call of the wild

Be your words for awhile

Be a song for awhile

[Chorus]

All the animals are running after me

It's all that I can do to stay on two feet

All the animals are running to the sea

And I give it away, every night, every day

Every word that I say, I'm an animal

{Outro}

I'm an animal
