Lyrics
Animal
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I can practice with strength if that's what you want
Let me zip off my boots, we can go for a walk
If I rein you in, you can follow my lead
We can ride so fast, just remember to breathe
If you start to gear up, then I'll tighten my grip
If you try to talk back, I'll be using my whip
Not be hard to hear you with my whip in your mouth
If it starts to hurt then you'll have to scream loud
There's no use going back 'cause the damage is done
Throw away all the rules, 'cos there's gonna be none
Come on and let yourself go, 'cause there's no time to think
Now I'm in control of your animal instinct
If you want, I'll treat you like an animal
If you want, I'll feed you like an animal
If you want, I'll hunt you like an animal
If you want, I'll treat you like an animal
If you misbehave, I can make you submit
If you start to act up, I can force you to quit
If you want me to break you, I can bring you the heel
It'll be hard to tame you when it's me that you feel
There's no use going back 'cause the damage is done
Throw away all the rules, 'cos there's gonna be none
Come on and let yourself go, 'cause there's no time to think
Now I'm in control of your animal instinct
There's no use going back 'cause the damage is done
Throw away all the rules, 'cos there's gonna be none
Come on and let yourself go, 'cause there's no time to think
Now I'm in control of your animal instinct
If you want, I'll treat you like an animal
If you want, I'll feed you like an animal
If you want, I'll hunt you like an animal
If you want, I'll treat you like an animal
If you want, I'll treat you like an animal
If you want, I'll feed you like an animal
If you want, I'll hunt you like an animal
If you want, I'll treat you like an animal
