Heart Like an Animal

I’m good at playing the game
I changed my face, I changed my name
I follow the rules, I pay the price
Look at me, so well civilized
I sacrifice, I compromise
But this can’t be the way to paradise
When I get so lost
I have to run to you
How do you soothe the savage beast the way you do?
Mind… spirit…body…soul…
You got a…
Heart like an animal
Running on instinct
Key to survival
Heart like an animal
The missing link
Between the monkey and the bible
My jail is a frozen smile
My prison cell is the latest style
I was to get it right, but it feels to wrong
There’s something ‘bout the way you kiss
That defies my attempt at analysis
How can you be so soft, how can you be so strong?
You give me faith
You take away the pain
You reconnect me like the warm rain
Mind… spirit…body…soul…
You got a…
Heart like an animal
Running on instinct
Key to survival
Heart like an animal
The missing link
Between the monkey and the bible
It gets cold out here alone
Don’t want to live like this anymore
If I surrender to you now
Would you take my hand and lead me through the fire?
Heart like an animal
Heart like an animal
Heart like an animal
Heart like an animal
You got a…
Heart like an animal
Running on instinct
Key to survival
Heart like an animal
The missing link
Between the monkey and the bible
