Lyrics

Melody Emergency

You got a head on your shoulders
You got a bone on your back
So you're not a rock and roller
And there is nothing wrong with that
I'm ready in the picture book,
Your lady's interview
You may try to get another, animal in you
Whoa, whoa, animal
Whoa, whoa, emotional
Whoa, whoa, animal
Whoa, whoa, emotional

You gotta be somebody's maybe
You gotta learn to lose control
You gotta go a little crazy, release the animal
A beating on your ego until it's black and blue
All that's left to save me, the animal in you
Whoa, whoa, animal
Whoa, whoa, emotional
Whoa, whoa, animal
Whoa, whoa, emotional

We are both common people
Sharing the same combination
It's lethal, each others, gone to the night
We are both common people
Sharing the same combination
It's lethal, each others, gone to the night
Whoa, whoa, animal
Whoa, whoa, emotional
Whoa, whoa, animal
Whoa, whoa, emotional.
