Animals In Disguise
The Wet Secrets Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's take time
Let's unwind
Wound too tight
Let's take flight

Oh, you think that I'm so primitive
Oh, you think that I'm uncivilized
Oh, you think that I'm some sort of savage
But everything here is just as advertised

Animals you and I
With animal instincts on our minds
Animals in disguise
Never let it show

Oh, you make my brainstem tingle
Oh, you've given me quite a thrill
Oh, you make my body ache baby
And oh, oh you
You probably always will

Oh, you shouldn't fight what's natural
Oh, you shouldn't fight me no more
Everything alive does the evolution
From the top of the trees
To the bottom of the ocean floor

Animals you and I
With animal instincts on our minds
Animals in disguise
Never let it show

I want to live in the jungle with my pride
No inhibitions
We'll never have to fight who we are

Animals

Animals you and I
With animal instincts on our minds
Animals in disguise
Let's do what animals do
Animals you and I
With animal instincts on our minds




Animals in disguise
Never let it show
