lyrics

ANIMALS ANIMALS ANIMALS

Swallowed up like diamonds,
at home within a horse,
evergreens are groaning,
joints of heavy doors.

Animals. Animals.
Animals. Animals.

The seconds take forever,
seamen at the oars,
eyes as dead as heaven
stare forever north.

Animals. Animals.

Remember what the devil said.
Remember what the devil said.

Animals. Animals,
animals, animals.

Bite in half a bedbug,
torturing a fly,
shoes consumed by puddles,
apples eating eyes.

Animals. Animals.

Faster than a feather,
making up a bed,
shut up like a flower,
the world stuck in my head.

Animals. Animals,
animals, animals.

Witches in the water,
eyes like paper wads,
Linda cutting basil,
the bodies start to bob.

Animals. Animals.

Remember what the devil said.
Remember what the devil said.
Remember what the devil said.
Remember what the devil said.

Animals. Animals, animals,
animals, animals, animals.

My door is always open.
My door is always closed.
My roses are violet.
My violets are rose.

Animals. Animals.

Burning in the oven,
bigger than the sky,
you will see it your way,
and I will see it mine.
Walking on the ceiling,
drawing on an eye,
hearts are pumping money,
all are born to die.

Animals. Animals.
Animals. Animals,
animals, animals.
