An Animal In Your Care Songtext / Lyric

Time after time

You will forgive me

Like an animal in your care

But give it time

You will outlive me

And take the bow back you put in my hair



Made a parade of myself in the street outside your house

For the New York photographer there

I fell for crime and I fell for beauty

I fell for you because you're the one that cared






And when I die

You can put on costumes

In the style of the clothes I wore

And sing the songs your lover taught you

When you were too young to know that this was what they were for.



La la la la. La la la la. lalala [x2]



Like some dead relative

You will remember me most by my funeral

And all the beautiful toasts you made

Take back the spade

We've both been filling up our days like we were filling in a grave



You let me hang, hang, hang around

You put your ribbons in my hair

It's in this language that I found

I am an animal in your care



An animal in your care

An animal in your care

An animal in your care



It's in this language that I've found

I am an animal in your care
