Savage Garden › Lyrics › The Animal Song

When superstars and cannon balls are runnin' through your head
And television freak show, cops and robbers everywhere
Subway makes me nervous, people pushin' me too far
I've got to break away so take my hand now

'Cause I want to live
Like animals
Careless and free
Like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
The wind in my hair and the sand at my feet

I've been having difficulties keepin' to myself
Feelings and emotions better left up on the shelf
Animals and children tell the truth they never lie
Which one is more human
There's a thought, now you decide

Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your head, yeah
Would you like to make a run for it
Would you like to take my hand, yeah

'Cause I want to live
Like animals
Careless and free
Like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
The wind in my hair and the sand at my feet

Sometimes this life can get you down
It's so confusing
There's so many rules to follow
And I feel it
'Cause I just run away in my mind

Superstars and cannon balls are runnin' through your head
Television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Animals and children tell the truth they never lie
Which one is more human
There's a thought, now you decide

Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your head, yea
Would you like to make a run for it
Would you like to take my hand, yea

'Cause I want to live
Like animals
Careless and free
Like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
The wind in my hair and the sand at my feet

'Cause I want to live
Like animals
Careless and free
Like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
The wind in my hair, yea yea

I want to live
I want to live
I want to live
Like animals
I want to live
Like animals
Like animals
Like animals
Can you feel it
Like animals
Can you feel it
Can you feel it
Like animals
Can you feel it
Like animals
Can you feel it
Like animals
Can you feel it
Like animals
