The Animal Song (From The Other Sister February '99)

When superstars and cannonballs
are running through your head
And 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

Cos' I want to live, (like animals)
careless and free (like animals)
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
With the wind in my hair and 
the sand at my feet

I don't have any 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,
Would you like to make a run for it?
Would you like to take my hand?

Cos' I want to live (like animals)
careless and free (like animals)
I want to live,
I want to run through the jungle
With the wind in my hair and 
the sand at my feet

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

Superstars and cannonballs
are 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
Would you like to make a run for it?
Would you like to take my hand?

Cos' I want to live, (like animals)
Careless and free (like animals)
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
With the wind in my hair and
the sand at my feet
