In pinstripe pants I'm banging cymbals with a grin
I'm here every night just for your entertainment
And I'm hoping that the sun will shine through the cracks in the trees, for me
Cuz I haven't been myself I'm just the monkey you made out of me
Out here looking for a branch to swing from
Higher with each leap for a taste of freedom
While birds have the wind beneath their outstretched wings
Above the palm trees and the temple rubble
I know there more for me than a life of struggle
Cuz something within calls me to believe
There's another paradise far from this jungle
I'm just your animal
I'm just your animal
I'm just your animal
You need me, you want me, but I don't get time to play
Cuz I'm just a creature for you to have on display
Where the wild ends and meets the runway
Gonna make it out of here someday
While birds have the wind beneath their outstretched wings
Dreams are bought and sold here by the bundle
I can make the mountains around me rumble
Cuz something within calls me to believe
There's another paradise far from this jungle
I'm just your animal
I'm just your animal
I'm just your animal
I'm just your animal
I'm just your animal
I'm just your animal
