Lyrics
Let me stay here overnight
You may not think I'm right
But I can't face the animals.
In this somewhere I have found
I'll hide here underground
Away from all the animals.
Why do they always show their claws?
Now, I can't bear to hear their paws
Padding softly in the night,
Yellow eyes that should be white.
They are hunting me.
How could I have thought them friends?
Their teeth have jagged ends
And now I see they're animals.
Let them fight among themselves.
My books are on the shelves,
So I don't need the animals.
I haven't any teeth to bite,
So, when they all begin to fight,
I will be the one to lose,
Standing in my leather shoes.
They are hunting me.
So, please keep me overnight.
you may not think I'm right,
But I can't face the animals.
They're animals...
