When the strange animalwith the strange set of plantscame to town last Julythere was blood on his hands,and it now comes to lighthe had been in a fightwith some government menwho were high as a kitewhat a strange animal we a-a-a-are (2x)There are songs that are sealed, that will not let you in,but he came on a songthat was open to himto get out of the rain,it was cold, it was strongWell the strange animalwalked right into the songWhat a strange animal we a-a-a-are (2x)What a strange (4x)What a strange animal we a-a-a-are (5x)I had nowhere to goso I entered your songso I entered your songhope you don't think me wrongwell it's warm and its dryit's a nasty old nightit's a nasty old nightand I must look a sightThere's something 'bout him that is frightening,and right on cue, a bolt of lightningI'll just sit over heretill the cold disappearswould you think it a sinif I start chiming in?what a strange animal we a-a-a-are (4x)we arewhat a strange animal we areIf I may be quite frankand I'm not pulling rankand I know I'm a guestand I know you know bestbut this song lacks a heartcomes off overly smartan emotional coreain't that what songs are for?There's something 'bout him I'm not likingsomebody to tell to get hikingBut you need to be clearand a lot more sincere.Wake me up, will you friend,when the verse finally ends?what a strange animal we a-a-a-are (4x)we are (3x)But the ones in the songwho had been there so longwho, impatient, has seethedand they asked him to leave,but he said Not so fast!Unaware of my pastyou allowed me inside;You can't push me aside.When the song lets me inO can see where its been -if it's broken some hearts,if it's been in the charts.But this song shows no signsof a grander designit attained it or notwhat you know from the startyou're in need of a fixof a totally remixso I must clue you all?I'm a strange animaland I find you quite dullhere's that chorus againthat can stayhere's the endwhat a strange animal we a-a-a-are (etc...)
