Animal
W.A.S.P. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got pictures of naked ladies
Lying on their beds
I whiff that smell and sweet convulsion
Starts a-Swelling inside my head
I'm making artificial lovers for free
I start to howl I'm in heat
I moan and growl and the hunt drives me crazy

I fuck like a Beast

I come round, round i come feel your love
Tie you down, down i come steal your love
I come round, round i come feel your love
Tie you down, down i come steal your love

I'm on the prowl and i watch you closely
I lie waiting for you
I'm the wolf with the sheepsskins clothing
I lick my chops and your tasting good
I do whatever i want to, to ya
I'll nail your ass to the sheets
A pelvic thrust and the sweat starts to sting ya

I fuck like a beast

I come round, round i come feel your love
Tie you down, down i come steal your love
I come round, round i come feel your love
Tie you down, down i come steal your love
Come ride, savage seduction
Ride, ride, ride

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of W.A.S.P.'s song "Animal" are a straightforward ode to sexual desire and lust. The singer, presumably a man, tells us that he keeps pictures of naked women and gets aroused by the smell of sex. He creates artificial lovers and howls in heat, driven crazy by his desire. The chorus repeats the phrase "I fuck like a beast," emphasizing the raw and animalistic nature of his sexuality.


The second verse continues the animal imagery, with the singer comparing himself to a wolf in sheep's clothing, watching and waiting for his prey. He declares his power over the woman, saying that he can do whatever he wants to her and will nail her to the sheets. The second chorus repeats the same lines as the first, reinforcing the idea of the singer as a primal, dominating force.


Overall, "Animal" is a provocative and unapologetically sexual song. It doesn't shy away from portraying desire and lust as intense, uncontrolled forces that can overpower reason and lead to deep, physical pleasure.

My eyes are burning, bells are ringing in my ears
Alarm clocks wailing, class bells screaming, I can't hear
A text book mad-house, twelve years I'm here in a rage
A juveniles jail, and I'm here locked up in their cage
School daze, school daze, I'm here doin' time
School daze, school daze, my age is my crime
School daze, school daze, I'm here doin' time
School daze, school daze, I'm attending hell high
A blackboard jungle toed the line the rulers made
A homework hell-house screams at me "make the grade!"
Tick tock, three o'clock, I'm sitting here and counting off the days
A fire bell is ringin' hell and I'd sure love to see it blaze
Burn it down!
School daze, school daze, I'm here doin' time
School daze, school daze, my age is my crime
School daze, school daze, I'm here doin' time
School daze, school daze, I'm attending hell high
I pledge no allegiance and I bet
They're gonna drive me crazy yet
Nobody here is understanding me
I pledge no allegiance and I bet
They're gonna drive me crazy yet
I'm dying here and trying to get free
School daze, school daze, I'm here doin' time
School daze, school daze, my age is my crime
School daze, school daze, I'm here doin' time
School daze, school daze, I'm attending hell high

I was 18 when this came out. This was the song to blast on a boom box to really tick the adults off. Sheesh, I am now old enough for 55+ communities now.

@AndE667

Nowadays it's the youth that's offended. "like, ummm, this is soooo sexist, and ummm... loud and dumb."

@TheMrdiablo58

@AndE667 they’ll say this while they listen to Nikki Minaj singing about taking it up the ass.

@brianpatrickofficial

I love that 😂 I’m 15 and I have a shit ton of 80s stuff, I would blast this on my 1982 boombox no problem.
