Well, I have a choice between the bat or the belt
Each time I hear about the hand you've been dealt
Spare me confession, it's confessions you sell
Maybe I'll fall behind, I don't mind because I'll catch up
Want a song that's indelible, like Manimal
I hope you never see me wind up
Will I be happy on the back of the shelf?
Will you be happy when we're sharing a cell?
Spare me your questions, since you know me so well
Someday, you'll realize, I get shy and I choke up
Want a song that's indelible, like Manimal
I hope you never see me wind up
What is wrong with this animal, I'm terrible
I hope you never see me wind up
Farewell, my sweet paramania
Farewell, my sweet paramania
My only promise is that I'll never tell
Keep you at distance from the things that I felt
I'll bite the bullet, take the beating until
I take it all back anyway, what was I supposed to say?
Want a song that's indelible, like Manimal
I hope you never see me wind up
What is wrong with this animal, I'm terrible
I hope you never see me wind up
