I Am an Animal Songtext
von Pete Townshend

I was always here in the silence
But I was never under your eye
Gather up your love in some wiseness,
For every memory shall always survive
And you will see me.

I am an animal
My teeth are sharp and my mouth is full
And the passion is so strong
When I′m alone, loneliness will change me

I am a vegetable
I get my body badly pulled
I'm rooted to the spot
Nothing will rearrange me

I′m looking back and I can't see the past
Anymore so, hazy
I'm on a track and I′m traveling so fast
Oh for sure I′m crazy


I am a human being
I can't believe all the things I′m seeing
I've nowhere to hide anymore
I′m losing my way

I am an angel
I booked in here I came straight from hell
I don't know how to lie anymore
I′m boozing to pray

I'm looking back and I can't see the past
Anymore so, hazy
I′m on a track and I′m traveling so fast
Oh for sure I'm crazy

I was always here in the silence
But I was never under your eye
Gather up your love in some wiseness
For every memory shall always survive
And you will see me

I will be immersed
Queen of the fucking Universe
And I don′t know what I have anymore
Anymore than you do


I am a nothing king
Been right around on a golden ring
I don't know where you are anymore
I′ve got no clue

I was always here in the silence
But I was never under your eye
Gather up your love in some wiseness
For every memory shall always survive
And you will see me

I am an animal.
