I Am An Animal - Pete Townshend

I was always here in the silence

But I was never under your eye

Gather up your love in some wiseness

For every memory shall always survive

And you will see me

I am an animal

My teeth are sharp, and my mouth is full

And the passion is so strong

When I’m alone, loneliness will change me

I am a vegetable

I get my body badly pulled

And I’m rooted to the spot

Nothing will rearrange me

I’m looking back, and I can’t see the past

Anymore, so hazy

I’m on a track, and I’m travelling so fast

Oh, for sure I’m crazy

I am a human being

And I don’t believe all the things I’m seeing

I’ve got nowhere to hide anymore

I’m losing my way

I am an angel

I booked in here, I came straight from hell

And I don’t know how to lie anymore

I’m boozing to pray

I’m looking back, and I can’t see the past

Anymore, so hazy

I’m on a track, and I’m travelling so fast

Oh, for sure I’m crazy

I was always here in the silence

But I was never under your eye

Gather up your love in some wiseness

Every memory shall always survive

And you will see me

I will be immersed

Queen of the fucking Universe

And I don’t know what I have anymore

Anymore than you do

I am a nothing king

Been right around on a golden ring

I don’t know where you are anymore

I’ve got no clue

I’m looking back, and I can’t see the past

Anymore, so hazy

I’m on a track, and I’m travelling so fast

Oh, for sure I’m crazy

I am an animal
