Animal by Neon Trees




Here we go again, I kinda want to be more than friends
So take it easy on me, I'm afraid your never satisfied
Here we go again, we're sick like animals, we play pretend
You're just a cannibal and I'm afraid I won't get out alive
No I won't sleep tonight

Oh, oh, I want some more
Oh, oh, what are you waitin for?
Take a bite of my heart tonight

Oh, oh, I want some more
Oh, oh, what are you waitin for?
What are you waitin for?
Say goodbye to my heart tonight

Here we go again, and I feel the chemicals kicking in
It's getting heavy and I want to run and hide
I want to run and hide
I do it every time, your killing me now
And I won't be denied by you, the animal inside you

Oh, oh, I want some more

Oh, oh, what are you waiting for?

Take a bite of my heart tonight

Oh, oh, I want some more

Oh, oh, what are you waiting for?

What are you waiting for?

Say goodbye to my heart tonight

Hush, hush, the world is quiet

Hush, hush, we both can't fight it

It's us that made this mess

Why can't you understand?

Whoa, I won't sleep tonight

I won't sleep tonight

Here we go again

Oh, oh, I want some more
Oh, oh, what are you waiting for?
Take a bite of my heart tonight


Oh, oh, I want some more
Oh, oh, what are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
Say goodbye to my heart tonight

Here we go again, oh, oh
Here we go again, oh, oh
Here we go again, oh, oh
Say goodbye to my heart tonight


Oh, oh, I want some more
Oh, oh, what are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
Say goodbye to my heart tonight
