When Animals Attack Lyrics by Institute

Distort Yourself

2005

[Verse 1]
These nights are getting longer
Seems like I've always been awake
There is danger in the houses
A nemesis in shape

[Chorus]
She took my mental bones
Placed them where I could feel again
You know how bad things get
When animals attack, you need fire
When animals attack, you need fire

[Verse 2]
Nine lives for the madmen
Trouble for the sane
What is good for your survival
May be not good for your health

[Chorus]
She took my mental bones
She took my soul and everything
You know how bad things get
When animals attack, you need fire
When animals attack, you need fire
When animals attack

[Post-Chorus]
When there's no way out
When there's no way out
When there's no way—

[Bridge]
The more I need, the less I know
How I will try to need less, try to need less

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
She cooked my mental bones
She took my soul and everything
You know how sad things get
When animals attack, you need fire
When animals attack, you need fire
When animals attack, when animals attack

[Post-Chorus]
When there's no way out
When there's no way out
When there's no way out
When there's no way—
