Текст песни Savage garden - The animal song

When superstars and cannonballs are running through your head
The television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Subway makes me nervous, people pushing me too far
I've got to break away
So take my hand now
 
Cause I want to live like animals
Careless and free like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
The wind in my hair and the sand at my feet
 
I've been having difficulties keeping to myself
Feelings and emotions better left up on the shelf
Animals and children tell the truth, they never lie
Which one is more human
There's a thought, now you decide
 
Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your hands
Would you like to make a run for it
Would you like to take my hand
 
Cause I want to live like animals
Careless and free like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
The wind in my hair and the sand at my feet
 
Sometimes this life can get you down
It's so confusing
There's so many rules to follow
And I feel it
'Cause I just run away in my mind
 
When Superstars and cannonballs are running through your head
Television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Animals and children tell the truth, they never lie
Which one is more human
There's a thought, now you decide
 
Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your hands
Would you like to make a run for it
Would you like to take my hand
 
Cause I want to live like animals
Careless and free like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
With the wind in my hair and the sand at my feet
 
I want to live like animals
Careless and free like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
With the wind in my hair
 
I want to live
I want to live
 
Cause I want to live like animals
I want to live like animals
Like animals
Like animals
 
Can you feel it?
Like animals
Can you feel it?
Like animals
Can you feel it?
Like animals
Can you feel it?
Like animals
Can you feel it?
Like animals
Can you feel it?
Like animals
