Lyrics: Gert Wijnalda
Album: Snakes And Ladders
I live inside your belly
And you cannot get me out
Whenever you will try to
You’ll find nothing there but doubt
And you’re going nowhere, nowhere without me
No, you’re going nowhere, nowhere without me
And all you do is wonder
It’s like a dream that hardly fades
It lingers some place down there
Won’t be easily erased
And I’m going nowhere, nowhere without you
Nowhere ‘cause I’ve been there, I live inside you
It’s the animal inside you
The animal that crawls
The animal inside you
That’s gonna take you on a lovely mirror waltz
The animal that preaches
The animal that reaches
For the things that are so high that you can’t touch them
It’s waiting ‘till you fall
I’ll live inside the temple
That’s right between your eyes
I’ll softly weep inside you
Sometimes scream to your surprise
And I’m going nowhere, nowhere without you
Nowhere ‘cause I’ve been there, I live inside you
Chorus
Closer, closer, closer …
I’m your sleep, your dream, your wake, your life
The skies, the stars
The sun that’s burning bright in you ——
There’s an animal inside you
The animal inside you, side you
Takes you, bites you, loves you, rides you
Away
It’s waiting ‘till you fall
Closely look around you, next time on the streets
Everyone around you, everyone you see
They’ve got an animal inside them, just like me
