Savage Garden - The Animal Song Lyrics






When superstars and cannonballs are running through your head
A television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Subway makes me nervous, people pushing me too far
I've got to break away
So take my hand now

[Chorus:]
'Cause I want to live like animals
Careless and free like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
The wind in my hair and the sand at my feet

I've been having difficulties keeping to myself
Feelings and emotions better left up on the shelf
Animals and children tell the truth, they never lie
Which one is more human
There's a thought, now you decide

Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your hands, yeah
Would you like to make a run for it
Would you like to take my hand, yeah

[chorus]

Sometimes this life can get you down
It's so confusing
There's so many rules to follow
And I feel it
'Cause I just run away in my mind

Superstars and cannonballs running through your head
Television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Animals and children tell the truth, they never lie
Which one is more human
There's a thought, now you decide

Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your hands, yeah
Would you like to make a run for it
Would you like to take my hand, yeah

[repeat chorus to fade]

    this sounds so familiar?i used to line dance to it years ago

    L.... W....

    You line danced to 90's pop, is that even legal? :p

    L.... W....

    @Areanyusernamesleft yep ;-) I used to be able to dance to anything 20 yrs ago ;-)

    L.... W....

    @Areanyusernamesleft of course it's legal, the dancers on music vids & top of the pops is just line dancing, it's just basically dancing in a line so you don't fall of the stage lol, I hate some people that stereotype line dancing as only country :-( that's old skool.

    L.... W....

    @Lisa Warburton I was just a joke about the apparent mix of genres. ;)
