American Music Club – Animal Pen

Giving up that’s the easy part

Turn your pockets out

Tear your room apart

But you can’t find anything

To help you on your way

Run, try to catch the bus

And reach it just as it pulls away

For the black hole and the beautiful Crab Nebulae

Time running out

Time running dry

Frozen peas and carrots

And pickled animal parts

Sweet anticipation

For the well-preserved at heart

One more walk around the animal pen

Keeping to the sun

But I’ll end up in the shade again

Just one more walk

Underneath the big starry-ass sky

I wasn’t born good enough

That I wasn’t born good enough for

Doctor don’t you worry

Doctor I feel fine

Doctor I just swallowed

Every grape on the vine

Hey look here it comes

My great big luxury UFO

Now drive this thing and go fast

Why are we moving so slow

Just one more walk

Around the animal pen

I’m running happily in the sun

I’ll end up in the shade again

Just one more walk

Underneath the big empty sky

That I wasn’t born good enough for

Doctor don’t you worry

Doctor I feel fine

As long as I can fill that form

I’ll sign any dotted line
