Strange Animal

Lyrics

When the strange animal With the strange set of plans Came to town last July There was blood on his hands And it now comes to light He had been in a fight With some government men Who were high as a kite What a strange animal we a-a-a-are (2x) There are songs that are sealed That will not let you in But he came upon a song That was open to him To get out of the rain It was cold, it was strong Well the strange animal Walked right into the song What a strange animal we a-a-a-are (2x) What a strange (4x) What a strange animal we a-a-a-are (5x) "I had nowhere to go So I entered your song So I entered your song Hope you don't think me wrong Well it's warm and it's dry It's a nasty old night It's a nasty old night And I must look a sight" There's something 'bout him that is frightening And right on cue, a bolt of lightning "I'll just sit over here Till the chorus appears Would you think it a sin If I start chiming in?" What a strange animal we a-a-a-are (4x) We are What a strange animal we are "If I may be quite frank And I'm not pulling rank And I know I'm a guest And I know you know best But this song lacks a heart Comes off overly smart An emotional core Ain't that what songs are for?" There's something 'bout him I'm not liking Somebody tell him to get hiking "But you need to be clear And a bit more sincere Wake me up, will you friend When the verse finally ends?" What a strange animal we a-a-a-are (4x) We are (3x) But the ones in the song Who had been there so long Grew impatient and seethed And they asked him to leave But he said "Not so fast! Unaware of my past You allowed me inside; You can't push me aside When the song lets me in I can see where its been - If it's broken some hearts If it's been in the charts But this song shows no signs Of a grander design Entertainment or art One should know from the start" "You're in need of a fix Or a total remix So I must kill you all Start again, have a ball I'm a strange animal And I find you quite dull Here's that chorus again That can stay Here's the end" What a strange animal we a-a-a-are (6x)
