lyrics

Funny Funny Animal

You’re a funny funny animal,
But I forgot to laugh
They think you’re together
But you’re cut right in half

I see you prowlin’, like a god of the dead
I hear you howlin’ like a wind in the head

You’re a funny funny animal
Pretending to be kind
All the while, you been double-dealin’ from behind

I see you prowlin’, like a god of the dead
I hear you howlin’ like a wind in the head

With a begging bowl in one hand
And a knife behind your back
You hide like a jackal
With kittens in a sack

I see you prowlin’, like a god of the dead
I hear you howlin’ like a wind in the head

You’re a funny funny animal
Loathsome to yourself
Dirty, and unwanted, but you can’t be no one else
