Animal Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A wild ride, over stony ground
Such a lust for life, the circus comes to town
We are the hungry ones, on a lightning raid
Just like a river runs, like a fire needs flame
Oh, I burn for you
[Chorus]
I got to feel it in my blood, whoa, oh
I need your touch don't need your love, whoa, oh
And I want, and I need, and I lust, animal
And I want, and I need, and I lust, animal
[Verse 2]
I cry wolf, given mouth to mouth
Like a moving heartbeat, in the witching hour
I'm running with the wind, a shadow in the dust
And like the driving rain, hey, like the restless rust
I never sleep
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Huh! Oh! Cry wolf baby, cry tough
Going to hunt you like an, uh, uh, animal
Going to take your love and run
[Chorus]
[Outro]
And I want (And I want)
And I need (And I need)
And I lust (And I lust)
Animal (Animal)
And I want (Take me)
And I need (Tame me)
And I lust (Make me)
Animal (Your Animal)
And I want (Show me)
And I need (Stroke me)
And I lust (Let me be your)
Animal (Animal)
And I want (I want)
And I need (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
And I lust
Animal (Animal)

We used the original one off of my original demo but it took three years before we actually completed it. I had done this demo and it was okay and there was a song in there we just couldn’t quite get. We’d revisit it and I remember we were recording vocals in P...
