Animal

from Return To The Garden by Goo

/

lyrics

there was a time i was the lucky dog
i knew who to call
tentacles wrapping round my neck
and i knew just who to call

that was a time of odd myths and prayers
and of him who was spinning it all
he wasn't midas that i am aware
more like sisyphus

now i'm a dead animal
i hold my tongue

he was winged and frail, untrue
i should've known i'd fail to see it through

he glows in the dark, built half of noah's arc
what'd you do?

when all of the comfort was gone I stood ripened raw
i was just born, nothing never happened
i was soaking thawed

but as the wind whipped and wrapped my flesh
i sealed up my speaking jaw
hope is a cannibal thing, an all-natural gnaw

now i'm a dead animal
i hold my tongue

he was far too frail, me too
but i should've known we'd fail the illusion

he is growing on the vine
he doesn't deal in time or space, bullshit like that
i took his place

sweet riddance
