about

Originally recorded by the band Deadbeat in 1985, 'The Animal In Me' was always a fun song about the deep seated primal nature within me and, as I see it, inside us all.

lyrics

It’s so dark I cannot see
Tension caused by the animal in me
Glazed eyes - frothing at the mouth
Driven by an anger lurking near about
I cannot talk; only breathe
Backed to a corner is the animal in me
I’m wild, you can’t take me alive
Don’t try to tame the animal in me

And so my life has run to seed
Inspiring the animal in me
Col sweat - bearing teeth
Far into regions of insanity
I cannot dream; only feed
Devouring the animal in me
I’m mad, you have now been warned
Into a rage goes the animal in me

Don’t try to tame the animal in me
