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.

Lie down and close your eyes

Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey

You may be in for a little suprise

Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey

(??? Over here something moving on the floor here)

Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey

Something wild with a mind of it's own

Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey

Scamper about like little tiny beasts

Looking for a house

(Or maybe just a hole

And complain to the mouse)

Baby baby don't cry

Scamper all around way up in a tree

So far from the ground

Where they'll never catch me

(???) Through my brain

Baby baby don't cry

They're part of the scheme

Nature always is

Physical it seems

We don't have a (basement)

Something isn't right

Baby baby don't cry

Scamper throught the night

Our little ears alert

(????????????)

It wouldn't even hurt if we

Had a little fun

Baby baby don't cry

Baby baby don't cry

Baby baby don't cry

Cause animals are under our skins

Those animals deep within

Those animals scampering about

Cause there ain't nothing

To try to stop them baby

Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey

And they say

Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey

Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey

Wake up, they're coming alive

We're changing so fast

We don't want to be left behind

Can't stop

Baby baby don't cry

I jump around the sidewalk

(Until it starts to whir)

We don't need clothes

Soon we'll have our own fur

Oh what's wrong

Baby baby don't cry

Don't feel bad

I'm going away

I'll come back

Looking for you some day

Hang on baby

Baby baby don't cry

Cause animals are under my skin

Those animals deep within

Why don't they leave me alone

They're bringing me down

It's just a matter of time

I'm on the line I'm on the line

The whole things come undone

We're all on the line

Get back

I'll never come back

Those animals

The animals

Those animals are under my skin

Those animals are under my skin

Those animals are under my skin

Those animals are under my skin

And they say

Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey
