Animals Lyrics by Slýggj

Slathered / Animals

2016

Walking down the road
Got my courage in a bag
It's been a hard week
And my feet are starting to drag

Nearing my destination
I hear the animals howling
They're making promises
About never throwing the towel in

When the week's gone by, and the moon hits high
That's when it happens
When you're just about done
And your mouth's gone dry
It needs to happen
Just let yourself loose
Don't think about tomorrow
You might feel regret
But you won't feel sorrow

After greeting the animals
They lead me inside
They take to a steel fountain
And let me hit my mind

What sounded like thumping
Has become clear sound
There's a crowded floor
Where the animals are swinging around

When the week's gone by, and the moon hits high
That's when it happens
When you're just about done
And your mouth's gone dry
It needs to happen
Just let yourself loose
Don't think about tomorrow
You might feel regret
But you won't feel sorrow
There is a game, where the losers are winners
And the winners get spared
The sight of the unconscious
Brings out the painters
Down by the waterhole I see them lurking
The predators are on the prowl
But they get shot right down!

They start to lose inhibitions
Seems like no one cares
Some are getting restless
See some leaving in pairs

Someone tries to take what isn't his
He takes one on the chin
The house is getting smaller
The walls are closing in

When the week's gone by
And the moon hits high
That's when it happens
When you're just about done
And your mouth's gone dry
It needs to happen
Just let yourself loose
Don't think about tomorrow
You might feel regret
But you won't feel sorrow

The house is clearing out
The walls are talking
I hear them whisper of sweet delight
The silence sweeps in
The walls are getting quiet
See some animals chew on bone
It's time for me to go home!
