I wanna be a sheepnnI was a wolf for so long, I went up toward the moonnAnd devoured the defenseless sheep like baloonsnThat were tied to a railing and would anyway soonnBe deflatednnI met you in between my carnivorous mealsnAnd your hair was so soft and your body was realnAnd the layers of leaves blew away to revealnA new pathwaynnNow I'm tryin' to hide my love away, be discretenBut you're a reason to change and end my violent streaknA reason to be normal, a reason to bleed like a sheepnI just wanna be a sheepnnI just wanna be a sheep following right along with the crowdsnA ballon with my head floating up through the cloudsnAnd a little white string holding me to the groundnCould that be you?nIt could be younI just wanna be a sheepnnNow the clock on the wall plays a sinister gamenIt treats every twelve hours exactly the samenAnd you cannot return and you can't get awaynIt keeps goingnnAnd everything you've done you can never undonSo I knew that it's useless to try and be newnBut when you keep your eye on me, steady and bluenI keep trying anywaysnnAnd that eye watching me makes me not want to hurtnI don't want to draw anymore blood on your shirtnAnd I don't want to stay up and paw through the dirtnI need sleepnI just wanna be a sheepnnI just wanna be a sheep and be gentle and docile and dumbnAnd o hear a voice call me and know I must comenAnd a shepherd to lead me and to forget where I'm fromnCould that be you?nIt could be younI just wanna, I just wanna be a sheepnnYes, I am the one who's been killing the flocknI admit it and now that you're over the shocknWould you take me and keep me and turn back the clocknWith your pretty little hand?nI just wanna be a sheepnn
