mark lanegan & joe cardamone - lost animals lyrics
[verse 1]
the passage of time so far removed
removed from mine
years as a young man that seem to have lasted so long
disappeared in a wild fire
now all i have is this song
is this song i wrote for you
i stood in the water but it was too cold
i stood out in the sun and it burned my skin
i slept straight through the spring while the flowers bloomed
i spent my life out in the rain on the street
only a filthy hotel room
doing what i do
doing what i do
yeah, doing what i do
don’t you do what i do
people, don’t you do what i do
where you going to sleep tonight?
a tent in the underpass
the nighttime hours crawling by
but you long since cеased to care at all
so many herе
lost animals in the back of your mind
[verse 2]
you got to find it again
someday, if you live that long
yeah, if you live that long
we’ll come back to you
transient, it comes and goes away
another city on another day
searching for that place to stay
the train on the tracks
the passage of time
life is gone in an instant
just like mine
just like mine
all i ever did was close my eyes
all i ever did was close my eyes
yeah, life like mine
don’t life a life like mine
people, don’t you live a life like mine
they say all the world’s stage
and life is a cabaret
i’m going to keep standing on this stage
in dirty combat boots
and a quietly dying rage
until the curtain falls
let it float away
[coda]
all the world’s a stage
life is a cabaret
keep standing on this stage
until the curtain falls
lost animals, so many here
looking for a home
looking for a place to stay
lost animals, so many here
looking for a home
looking for a place to stay
keep standing on this stage
lost animals
lost animals
