THE ANIMAL SONG
lyrics by Darren Hayes/music by Daniel Jones

When superstars and cannonballs are running through your head
Television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Subway makes me nervous people pushing me too far
Got to break away so take my hand now because

CHORUS
I want to live like animals
Careless and free like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle the wind in my hair and the sand
at my feet

I've been having difficulties keeping to myself
Feelings and emotions better left up on the shelf
Animals and children tell the truth they never lie
Which one is more human?
There's a thought now you decide
Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your hands
Would you like to make a run for it?
Would you like to take my hand?

CHORUS

Sometimes this life can get you down
It's so confusig there's so many rules to follow
But I don't feel it because I just run away in my mind

When superstars and cannonballs are running through your head
Television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Animals and children tell the truth they never lie
Which one is more human?
There's a thought now you decide

Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your hands
Would you like to make a run for it?
Would you like to take my hand?

CHORUS
