Plumage

Animal

I'm nothing more than an animal

In search of another animal

To tame and claim as my own

You danced for me

Sang me songs and you spread your wings

Flashed your colors and lured me

Into your nest for the night

I was all suited up with nowhere to go

But you made me honest and you gave me a home

Now even when you draw me near

I know you're still at arms length away

And i don't want to be just anybody to you

I want to be your one and only mate for life

Instead i'm just like everybody else who's tried

I've got to say

So long to my ideals

They served me once and served me well

Now they only serve to spin my wheels

I guess i ought to face my fears

I once was tragically hip and beautifully fine

Now my beautiful hips are tragically wide

Now every time i try to draw you near

I know you're still at arms length away

At least try to make it feel sincere

And worth my while to stay

Cuz i don't want to be just anybody to you

I want to be your one and only mate for life

Instead i'm just like everybody else who's tried

I've got to say

I guess i ought to face my fears

So long to my ideals

They served me once and served me well

Now they only serve to spin my wheels

I guess i ought to face...
