Strange Animals Songtext / Lyric

strange animals
strange
strange animals
strange

too complex to be tamed
too great to be grasped
their wonder and beauty
cannot be expressed
so will they devour you?
well nobody knows
can't see what's behind
those wild animal clothes

i try to describe it
can never succeed
moving around
in a big make believe
i say you are this
i say this is you, but
you're one strange animal
i am one too

strange animals
strange
strange animals
strange

if i were to give you
an animals name
could i keep you locked
in a cage of my brain
yes, i want to hold you
but it is not clear
just what your intention
if i get too near

i feel the danger
but i cannot leave
will you tear open
the heart on my sleeve

thought you were this
thought this was you
you're one strange animal
i am one too

strange animals
strange
strange animals
strange

i try to describe it
can never succeed
moving around
in a big make believe
i say you are this
say this is you
but you're one strange animal
i am one too
