Animal

Two girls drinking wine, smoking rollies
Out the window by the Brighton Pier
I locked myself out of the club after my set
Little bout of freedom
I guess I'll walk while the star appears

I tell myself that it is just the sea
And the wilding effect it has on me
These days I can't eat & when I do
I'm like an animal

And everything makes me manic
Sleeping in hotels or rather not sleeping
And dancing alone to Tom Petty
In my room until the morning comes
The highs and the lows
The peaks and valleys and the fit of your clothes

Is there any place I haven't left my heart?
Salt in the water, skin in the dark
And always the wind, hey
I'm an animal

And by this time in the night
Everyone's trying on their getaway clothes
They want you to know just how fast
They can go and leave you behind
Tough girls don't waste time

I swear that I've been down this street before
But Skylar of course
You've never been here before
You're just lost and talking to yourself
Like an animal

I feel I am stuck in a time loop telling me
That nothing is a coincidence
When really that's my brain looking for
A pattern to assure me there's some sense
To be made of chaos
Some beauty to catch onto
Down the tumble of time
You were just some beauty
I was trying to catch onto

Oh but beauty ain't no stationary thing
And when there's talk of wedding rings
Seems to me somebody's always letting
Somebody fall down

Two girls gone now
A roadie lets me in the front door
The blondes in the bleachers howl
I climb the stage & join for the encore
