Lyrics

Animal Space/Spacier

Intrusion on personal space

Unlike an animal I jump away

Respect the imaginary circle I draw

Feel it, can you see a false space enhancing?

Instinct dances, instinct dances

Charging forward, clumsy awkward

Scratching the air that guards my territory

Skin shrinks on overlapping spaces

Tempers flare at presumptious faces

Tempers flare at insistant faces

Intrusion on personal space

Unlike an animal I jump away

Respect the imaginary circle I draw

Feel it, can you see a false space enhancing?

Instinct dances, instinct dances

Charging forward, clumsy awkward

Scratching the air that guards my territory

Skin shrinks on overlapping spaces

Tempers flare at presumptious faces

Tempers flare at insistant faces

Charging forward, clumsy awkward

Scratching the air that guards my territory

Skin shrinks on overlapping spaces

Tempers flare at presumptious faces

Tempers flare at insistant faces

Intrusion on personal space

Unlike an animal I jump away

Respect the imaginary circle I draw

Feel it (do you feel it?)
