Lyrics

Animal Impulses

[Verse 1]

Shine razor eyes before the walls come down

Wilder than lions, louder than sound

The birds and the bees are getting older now

There’s a cold breeze blowing over my soul

[Chorus]

Shine razor eyes in delight

Shine razor eyes before you die

Shine razor eyes in this light

There’s a cold breeze blowing over my soul

[Verse 2]

Shine razor eyes before the walls come down

Wilder than lions, louder than sound

The birds and the bees are getting older now

There’s a cold breeze blowing over my soul

[Chorus]

Shine razor eyes in delight

Shine razor eyes before you die

Shine razor eyes in this light

There’s a cold breeze blowing over my soul

[Chorus 2]

I'm tired of this human duet

No civilizing hides our animal impulses

I'm tired of this human duet

No civilizing hides our animal impulses

[Chorus]

Shine razor eyes in delight

Shine razor eyes before you die

Shine razor eyes in this light

There’s a cold breeze blowing over my soul

[Chorus 2]

I'm tired of this human duet

No civilizing hides our animal impulses

I'm tired of this human duet

No civilizing hides our animal impulses

[Outro]

Our animal impulses

Our animal impulses
