"Animal" lyrics

Damn, that's a lonely sound
Calling from underground
There must be a reason for fear
So why did I end up here?
Who could be calling now
At the hour of my doubt?
It's animal instinct, dear
It told me the end is near
The doctor who checked my eyes
Right before our goodbyes
And just as my vision cleared
I thought "yeah, the end is near"
I just wanted to pay up, walk out, and drive on home
Instead I've got a question in my bones
Is it ever enough?
Oh no, darling, don't ask why
Will we ever give up?
Oh no! But see the apple in my eye

My eye, my throat
Grows its seed and takes its hold, was it ever enough?
It was never enough
Alive, afloat, and maybe now I know love is the animal

I sat in the doctor's chair, looked straight into the light
I asked if he had a family, and what was his aim in life?
He said we're all calling out to have someone at our side
Holding our bedside hand, but we walk alone into that night
We walk alone into that night
We just pay up, walk out, and drive on home
Brother, can you feel the one-way road?
Is it ever enough? Oh no, darling, don't ask why
Will we ever give up? Oh no! But see the apple in my eye

My eye, my throat
Grows its seed and takes its hold, was it ever enough?
It was never enough
Alive, afloat, and maybe now I know love is the animal

We just pay up, walk out, and drive on home
Brother, can you feel the one-way road?
Is it ever enough?
Oh no, but see the apple in my eye

My eye, my throat
Grows its seed and takes its hold, it was never enough
It was never enough
Alive, afloat. And maybe now I see
Love's just an animal inside my throat
Grows its seed and takes its hold. It was never enough
Alive, afloat, and maybe now I know love is the animal inside
