Sparks - Strange Animal lyrics

When the strange animal with the strange set of plants came to town last July there was blood on his hands, and it now comes to light he had been in a fight with some government men who were high as a kite what a strange animal we a-a-a-are (2x) There are songs that are sealed, that will not let you in, but he came on a song that was open to him to get out of the rain, it was cold, it was strong Well the strange animal walked right into the song What a strange animal we a-a-a-are (2x) What a strange (4x) What a strange animal we a-a-a-are (5x) "I had nowhere to go so I entered your song so I entered your song hope you don't think me wrong well it's warm and its dry it's a nasty old night it's a nasty old night and I must look a sight" There's something 'bout him that is frightening, and right on cue, a bolt of lightning "I'll just sit over here till the cold disappears would you think it a sin if I start chiming in?" what a strange animal we a-a-a-are (4x) we are what a strange animal we are "If I may be quite frank and I'm not pulling rank and I know I'm a guest and I know you know best but this song lacks a heart comes off overly smart an emotional core ain't that what songs are for?" There's something 'bout him I'm not liking somebody to tell to get hiking "But you need to be clear and a lot more sincere. Wake me up, will you friend, when the verse finally ends?" what a strange animal we a-a-a-are (4x) we are (3x) But the ones in the song who had been there so long who, impatient, has seethed and they asked him to leave, but he said "Not so fast! Unaware of my past you allowed me inside; You can't push me aside. When the song lets me in O can see where its been - if it's broken some hearts, if it's been in the charts. But this song shows no signs of a grander design it attained it or not what you know from the start" "you're in need of a fix of a totally remix so I must clue you all ? I'm a strange animal and I find you quite dull here's that chorus again that can stay here's the end"
