Animal

Two girls drinking wine

Smoking rollies out the window by

The Brighton Pier

I locked myself out of the club after my set

Little bout of freedom

I guess I'll walk while the star appears

And I tell myself that it is just the sea

And the wilding effect it has on me

These days, I can't eat, and when I do, I'm like an animal

And everything makes me manic

Sleeping in hotels, or rather, not sleeping and

Dancing alone to Tom Petty in my room

Until the morning comes

The highs and the lows

The peaks and valleys and the fit of your clothes

Is there any place I haven't left my heart?

Salt in the water, skin in the dark

And always the wind

Hey, I'm an animal

And by this time in the night

Everyone's trying on their getaway coats

They want you to know just how fast they can go

And leave you behind

Tough girls don't waste time

And I swear that I've been down this street before

And, Skylar, of course, you've never been here before

You're just lost and talking to yourself

Like an animal

I feel I am stuck in a time loop

Telling me that nothing's a coincidence

When really, that's my brain looking for a pattern

To assure me there's some sense

To be made of chaos

Some beauty to catch onto

Down the tumble of time

You were just some beauty

I was trying to catch onto

Baby, but beauty ain't no stationary thing

And when there's talk of wedding rings

Seems to me, somebody's always letting

Somebody fall down

Two girls gone down

The roadie lets me in the front door

The blondes in bleachers howl

I climb the stage and join for the encore
