Lyrics

[Intro: Josh Homme] I'm pinned down by the dark [Verse 1: Alex Turner] Been fighting with my sheets And nearly crying in my sleep Yes, I'm battling that well-told gripe The most frustrating type, you should have racing stripes The way you keep me in pursuit Sharpen the heel of your boot And you press it in my chest and you make me wheeze Then to my knees you do promote me [Chorus: Alex Turner] I'm pinned down by the dark A-N-I-M-A-L Makes my head pirouette More than I would be willing to confess D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S [Verse 2: Alex Turner] The light it fidgets through The thoughts'll soon revert to you About as bashful as a tribal dance The first and final chance, and course the audience Of frighteners and fiends Divided up into two teams When the acrobat fell off the beam She broke everyone's heart [Chorus: Alex Turner] I'm pinned down by the dark A-N-I-M-A-L Makes my head pirouette More than I would be willing to confess D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S The most unsuitable pet It's been long enough now so let's Make a mess, lioness [Bridge: Alex Turner] I'm pinned down by the dark I'm pinned down by the dark, oh-oh-oh [Outro: Alex Turner] D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S A-N-I-M-A-L D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S A-N-I-M-A-L
