The Evening Shadows Lyrics - Singles - H

I have an animal inside me 

He sleeps during the day 

But he kicks and ticks even when he's sleeping 

Never completely goes away 

And as the evening shadows stretch themselves 

The animal begins to wake 

Comes out to see what is for breakfast 

He takes whatever he can take 

He isn't murderous or wicked 

Sometimes he's like a little child 

But he's voracious and insatiable 

He's self-destructive and he's wild 

I sometimes think about the animal 

Sometimes I'm proud, Sometimes ashamed 

I know he drove me from my hometown 

Made me feel like I'm not the same 

I know he stops me being boring 

I think so anyway 

And I don't know if I control him 

But I must try to keep him chained 

But he doesn't think about the future 

He lives completely in the NOW 

Doo bee doo bee dooo... 

I sometimes see the other animals 

Controlling other peoples lives 

Doing things they thought they'd never do 

And not really knowing why 

So we must all beg for forgiveness 

Say sorry and explain 

Until the evening shadows stretch themselves 

And here we go again...
