Modern Animal

(album: Modern Animal - 2019)

Honey, I'm an animal
Without a manual
I've been shooting from the hips since I was
Very young
A silver-tongued devil
Mama raised a rebel
Sorry if you thought this was love

And you're right if I had you tonight I wouldn't call the next day
I've been thinking we've been drinking the fire to keep the demons at bay

I'm just another modern ani
Animal, animal
I'm just another modern ani
Animal
Oh, ain't got no manual, yeah yeah
I'm just another modern animal

I see the world with childlike wonder
Sometimes you get under
Someone to get over them now
Fell in love
With your own reflection
Intimate affection
Classically conditioned to see

The stripes on your skin
We sin to keep hunting prey
Some things I can't control
In my soul it tells me to stay

I'm just another modern ani
Animal, animal
I'm just another modern ani
Animal
Oh, I ain't got no manual, yeah yeah
I'm just another modern ani
Animal

Honey, no way
Too evolved for me
Make a mistake
Show you all my teeth

When you're lying in fluorescence
Sliding off your dress with
A fortune teller prescience

Open my love
Come in to the shadows
I've been waiting for you
Morphine made you do this
I want to be open, my love
Combing through the shallows
I've been patient, your move
Nothing in between us
I want to be open, my love
Hold me while you dazzle
I've been waiting for you
On your wheels you pull me
I want to be open
I want to be open
I want to be open
