I have an animal inside me He sleeps during the day But he kicks and ticks even when he's sleeping Never completely goes away And as the evening shadows stretch themselves The animal begins to wake Comes out to see what is for breakfast He takes whatever he can take He isn't murderous or wicked Sometimes he's like a little child But he's voracious and insatiable He's self-destructive and he's wild I sometimes think about the animal Sometimes I'm proud, Sometimes ashamed I know he drove me from my hometown Made me feel like I'm not the same I know he stops me being boring I think so anyway And I don't know if I control him But I must try to keep him chained But he doesn't think about the future He lives completely in the NOW Doo bee doo bee dooo... I sometimes see the other animals Controlling other peoples lives Doing things they thought they'd never do And not really knowing why So we must all beg for forgiveness Say sorry and explain Until the evening shadows stretch themselves And here we go again...
