Medicine Boy – You're An Animal Now lyrics

Listen up close
Listen here now
Let me lay something on you
What if I told you you’re just a ghost
You’re just a fleeting apparition of solitude
What if I said from your heels to your head
From your limbs to your chin to your ego
You’re an animal now
A wolf on the prowl
You can be anything you want if you let go

It’s at the bottom of the well you’ve forgotten
That you let run dry
Find it in the air so scarce and fair
In all you deny

Life is a struggle
Love is a rose
Growing steady under my eyelids
Love is the rubble through which I row
To get safely to your island
And you are the sky
My will to survive
You are the chain gang keeping my blood pumping
You are the repetition
The superstition
You are the proposition keeping my sails thumping

It’s at the bottom of the well you’ve forgotten
That you let run dry
Find it in the air so scarce and fair
In all you deny
You see it in the seeds of the love you bleed
All over the ground
It’s in the stones in the marrow in the bones
It’s all around

Darling you keep my soul from falling
Darling when I hear your voice a-calling me
Sweetheart you’ve taken care of my heart
Sweetheart you’ve taken care of my thoughts too
