Animals

"Live to fight another day"

The fruit fly sighs, as evening fades

Find a wife and make her pay

For wanting what she can't articulate

You hate yourself; you don't mean to

You'd cut off a leg for something to lean into

Policemen beat your neighbor's son

Don't feel right to you? Call 911

'Cause animals are learning how to walk upright

Rapturous, unnerving; the light behind their eyes

Right before they try

Delusion all but covers up

Hiding from the light in our superstitious clothes

The Kingdom's all around you dear

It was never somewhere else;

Always right here

Because the fruit is almost black

Money sits up front

Love rides in the back

'Cause animals are learning how to walk upright

Rapturous, unnerving; the light behind our eyes

Right before we die
