Animals & Angels
Would you like some coffee with a side of cream?
I don't have a thing to eat, but I offer you good company
Can I tell you a secret? Can I tell you the truth?
I am just as scared as you, but it don’t mean I'm not willing to try
What's your biggest regret? What’s your biggest fear?
Mine's an empty apartment like the one I live in
Welcome to the city, what brings you here?
Did you leave your old town because it didn't feel like living? No
Come and spend a night with me
'Cause I'd waste my life on you
We are more than carnal needs
You know it's true, you know it's true
Life ain't easy, life ain’t cheap
And I don’t plan on settling
We shouldn't have to choose between
Between animals and angels
Between passing strangers and family
Let’s stop pretending, let's get things straight
Love is never meant to be a game that we play selfishly
Love is like a furnace of 10,000 flames
Even as you feel your flesh burning, you wouldn't have it any other way
Because love is always worth the risk you take
Come and spend a night with me
'Cause I’d spend my life on you
We are more than carnal needs
You know it's true, you know it's true
Life ain't easy, life ain't cheap
And I don't plan on settling
We shouldn't have to choose between
Between animals and angels
Between passing strangers and family
Come and spend a night with me
'Cause I'd spend my life on you
We are more than carnal needs
You know it's true, you know it's true
Life ain't easy, life ain't cheap
And I don't plan on settling
We shouldn't have to choose between
Between animals and angels
Between passing strangers and family
