"The Animal Song"
Savage Garden



When superstars and cannonballs are running through your head
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

Oh oh oh...

I've been having difficulties keeping to myself
The feelings and emotions better left upon 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?

Yeah-ah...

'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, so many rules to follow
But I don't feel it, 'cause I just run away in my mind...

Oh oh oh...

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
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
The wind in my hair...

I want to live...
Like animals...

I don't feel it...
Can you feel it?

Like animals...
