I Am Animal

from The Dusty Dream Hole by Bannerman

/

lyrics

This is the year of the rat and I’m full of warm blood
And the call of the cat is beautiful
There’s a world underwater and a world beneath the soil
And with all of my heart I’m an animal.

This is how I’m made, this is what I’m for
I’m an animal
I am not a slave, I am not a whore
I’m an animal
This is how I’m made, this is what I’m for
I am not a slave anymore
I’m an animal.

We like to harvest the fat and get ready for the war
And we crow and we chat and we cackle
There is life in each season and a home in every hole
And with all of my heart I’m an animal.

This is how I’m made, this is what I’m for
I’m an animal
I am not afraid, I am not a fraud
I’m an animal
This is how I’m made, this is what I’m for
I am not afraid anymore
I’m an animal.

Some are products of greed and they help create the poor
Cut from good breeding, it’s laughable
But I’m just a man child who’s pissing at your door
And with all of my heart I’m an animal.
