The Shapes Between Us Turn To Animals

Desires muck and algae were the shadows on the wall

Glasses shatter ornaments on to the ground they fall

Our hair like anemone's that wave beneath the seas

Our fingers are like the fingers of baboons up in the trees

And the shapes between us turn into animals

The shapes between us

The lion is your anger as it smashes up the chair

The zebra is my answers as your pounding up the stairs

That's black and white and yes and no and can't make up it's mind

When you gonna see that love is dumb as well as blind

Oh the shapes between us turn into animals

The shapes between us

When the night is over and the dawn comes shining through

Everything is smashed to bits including me and you

The animals are snoring open-mouthed inside the cage

Waiting for the wine to turn and ache into a rage

'cause the shapes between us turn into animals

The shapes between us
