Animals Lyrics

they descend upon the city like flies
spraying their eggs into a dead dog’s eyes
it’s England on a Saturday night
I wish I could be like them and I try
but I find it more rewarding to walk along the river
picturing my body discarded in the water
I wonder who will do it and I wonder what they’re doing
right now
they opened up the sewers tonight
animals caged in their appetites
let loose upon the passer-by
and people like me are just parasites
take me to the river
I want to feel the water closing in and helpless as you’re pushing my head under
I wonder if you’ll do it and I wonder what you’re doing
right now
at four am you’re lying right there
with urine and wine dried in your hair
You mean something to someone somewhere
But now half the line, too drunk to care
I take you to the river
I want to show you something
I’m making a map from all the flowers I’m collecting
I wonder if I’ll do it and I wonder what I’m doing right
now
