Dangerous Animals

I'm pinned down by the dark

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

You 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

I'm pinned down by the dark

A-n-I-m-a-l

She makes my head pirouette

More than I would be willing to confess

D-a-n-g-e-r-o-u-s

The light it fidgets through, the thoughts will soon revert to you

About as bashful as a tribal dance

The first and final chance

And of course the audience of

Frighteners and fiends

Divided up into two teams

When the acrobat fell off the beam

She broke everyone's heart

I'm pinned down by the dark

A-n-I-m-a-l

She 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

I'm pinned down by the dark
