I have been weak in a manner of speaking
But I've shown you the ways of the world
Life as a lithograph
The star of the show is asked
For his own autographed word

Mumbling, fumbling
You spit and your stumble
It's only a matter of time
I'll tell you what happens when -
Your friends become arrogant
And you cannot trust your own eyes

Ah oo oo
They've the fangs of animals
Ah oo oo
They've the fangs of animals

You're superstitious
I'm not religious
The rain don't fall only on you
A martyr's a lonely fool
So I have forsaken you
As you have forsaken me too

Covered in indigo
Wondering which way to go
My kingdom is not of this world
And bare though I'd rather be
My skin, it is slippery
I'll give you recipe, girl

Ah oo oo
They've the fangs of animals
Ah oo oo
They've the fangs of animals

I can be self absorbed
As much as I try, of course
Your extemporaneous fan
But shaking off metaphors
I want to be something more
I want to be all that I can

We've for to get out of here
The vampires are in our ears
And they're reciting Shakespeare and Pound
They pull back their lips
When they give you that kiss
As deathly as they were profound

Ah oo oo
They've the fangs of animals
Ah oo oo
They've the fangs of animals

Your new friends and persona
Won't last as long as the -
The feeling that I might be right
There's reasons they applaud your pedestrian observations
They've got egos and all
And they're going to show them tonight
A regal said to me
Know your own enemy
I am the void's only sleuth
Truth is a paradigm
A fluid pose underlined
With petty illusion and news

Ah oo oo
They've the fangs of animals
Ah oo oo
They've the fangs of animals
Ah oo oo
They've the fangs of animals
Ah oo oo
They've the fangs of animals
