Animal Child - Sivert Høyem, Renate Knaup

Well, I’m looking for an animal child

Well, I’m looking for an animal child

A she-wolf smile -an animal

Your fussy flesh -an animal

Release the beast -an animal

Your little teeth -an animal

Ain’t it enough that we will die?

Well, I’m looking for an animal child

Well, I’m looking for an animal child

A depleted force -an animal

Abject faith -an animal

Outdated truth -an animal

Wasted youth

Ain’t it enough that we will die

From an infection of the mind?

Long may your evening last

Long may your evening last

When your time has passed

And you’re looking down yourself

Through a looking-glass

Well, I’m looking for an animal child

Well, I’m looking for an animal child

Reject all reason -an animal

Release the soul -an animal

Return to flesh -an animal

And burn the rest -an animal

Ain’t it enough that we will die

From an infection of the mind?

My mind is like an open wound

That’s bleeding constantly

Laid open to the world but still not connected to reality

Something slipped away from me when I was waiting in the street

Surprise, surprise, the world has turned, and it’s turning ceaselessly

What now, what now?

what’s the meaning?

No sense, no truth, no feeling

What now, what now?

what’s the meaning?

She’s proof, she’s proof that I still got feeling

However low it seems

Me and her will sleep tomorrow

Dreaming ice age dreams
