The Animal - Franco Battiato

Living life is not too hard

If I can be born again

Many things could be chenged now

A bit of lightness

And less stupidity

Faking, you’re good at faking

When you are close to me You always tell me I’m right

And I’d like to tell you

That I feel better

Alone.

Yes but the animal which is inside me Won’t let me live in happiness again

He takes all, the coffee too

He renders me a slave of all my passions

He never does give up He doesn’t want to wait

And still the animal which is inside me Wants you.

Inside me signs of fire

And water often quenches them

If you want them to burn

You leave them in the air

Or let them be on earth.
