Animals & Freaks
hey man do u wanna hear a story about me?
im an old man probably not interested, i see
but ill tell you anyway
about a girl who came to stay
30 years 6 months and 2 days ago
she walked into the party
joan de monmarquis
she wore her beauty like a cloak
with the devil up her sleave
and she was ancient like the greeks
amongst us animals and freaks
i lost my mind
never to find the useless thing again
there was something going on that night
but i dont know what it was
(no i dont no i dont know)
there was something going on that night
i was waiting, we were just waiting for it
i forgot everything i knew in the ancient sea that night
when she slipped her dress off shivering
and clung to me so tight
and then she whispered in my ear "there is nowhere else but here"
nowhere nowhere
there was something going on that night
but i dont know what it was (no i dont no i dont know)
there was something going on that night
i was waiting, we were just waiting
you dont know yourself
you dont know yourself
you dont know yourself
until shes had her way with you
spent three weeks in a cheap hotel corroding by the sea
tangled up in sheets and love and ancient misery
one day i woke to see her leave
she had an eagle on her sleeve
the last i heard she took the bird
to catch snakes in mexico
there was something going on that night
but i dont know what it was (no i dont no i dont now)
there was something going on that night
i was waiting, we were just waiting for you
there was something going on that night
but i dont know what it was (no i dont no i dont know)
there was something going on that night
i was waiting, we were just waiting
you dont know yourself
you dont know yourself
you dont know yourselff
untill your time is almost through
