Animals

Take flight and then mark my words You're leaving in a metal bird While I'm grounded on solid earth Didn't bring my attempts any closer And we wait in a hall, your name, last call We've packed your bags, I've checked your pulse That's exactly how we're not animals When I read it out loud it's incredible But I think I lost some bit in the middle Distorted, a punk rock blur Playing straight off your tape, this is what I heard I'm founded in another world And soon your ascent will be over And you're strapped to a seat at thousands of feet I'll track your scent, cold and mechanical That's exactly how we're still animals When the Atlantic states the inevitable We are lost somewhere in the middle It's planless, just how it works You're drifting down with a different bird While I'm grounded on solid earth Didn't bring your descent any closer
