Animals Lyrics - Cocorosie

Now that I'm alone I feel the lonely brokeness 

Of all the wicked avenues I've ever sold my love on 

All these moments of meekness and trembling subsided 

In the outright abandon of this orphan child. 

Home is on the highway living on soft bread and solace, 

I guess I'm waiting for nightfall or a solar eclipse 

And to wake up half empty 

Only to be filled again with mourning 

He's my evil shadow dove 

My black Palamito 

Can't break him like a diamond skull 

I can't seem to do so 

I Can't just rub him out like the 

Mob used to do so 

Like memories of porno and tea stains 

And tobacco, Oh, it's a mini disastro 

Bigger than the ice age don't know if baby dinosaurs 

Maybe could live through it, or Indians and butterflies 

What's crushed is my spirit, Oh I fear it is too fragile, 

Like fall leaves burn like paper... 

I always knew I would spend a lot of time alone 

No one would understand me, 

Maybe I should go and live amongst the animals.. 

Spend all my time amongst the animals 

And on the tracks I would go they lead to the sea 

To be amongst the animals... 

Oh I'm just a fall leaf something simple and shy lie that, 

That's how my heart lies down beside the sidewalk 

Like an empty restaurant filled with perfume and balloons, 

I sit and entertain the bizarre ghosts of my soul 

His name still lingers maybe lactates on my tongue 

Perhaps I'm just teething for a foreign fallen destiny 

Miserable but mine, I look like his mother 

Or Sophia Loren in an old fashioned movie 

Slow motion I cling to my child, desperate for love 

One day soon my brother died, made me remember all the 

Subordinate feelings I cast aside 

and maybe I had lied when I said I was ok 

Just getting along like a little song that stops to sing and say 

"Wild willow, windy winter won't you blow through me 

My whole eternity" 

Now I always knew that i would spend alot of time alone... 

nooone would understand me maybe i should go and live amongst the animals... 

spend all my time amongst the animals... 

And on the tracks I would go they lead to the sea 

To be amongst the animals...
