Let's Be Animals

The Downtown Fiction Let's Be Animals Lyrics
1.Thanks For Nothing

Lyricist:Cameron Leahy

I know the sun still shines when you're not around
I'm taking it easy in the worst part of town
And now I find it wasn't meant to last
I've one thing to say and that's
Thanks for nothing, kiss my ass

I want some money, I want some fame
Want everybody to know my name
Want you to see me in shining lights
Think about me when you're with him at night

I know the sun still shines when you're not around
I'm taking it easy in the worst part of town
And now I find it wasn't meant to last
I've one thing to say and that's
Thanks for nothing, kiss my ass
Thanks for nothing, kiss my ass, yeah

I wrote a letter I never sent
But I forgotten just how it went
It doesn't matter that much to me
Yours is the last face I ever want to see

Because the sun still shines when you're not around
I'm taking it easy in the worst part of town
And now I find it wasn't meant to last
I've one thing to say and that's
Thanks for nothing, kiss my ass

The sun still shines when you're not around
I'm taking it easy in the worst part of town
And now I'm fine, it wasn't meant to last
I've one thing to say and that's
Thanks for nothing, kiss my ass
Thanks for nothing, kiss my ass

I see the sun still shines when you're not around
I'm taking it easy in the worst part of town
And now I'm fine, it wasn't meant to last
I've one thing to say and that's
Thanks for nothing, kiss my ass

The sun still shines when you're not around
I'm taking it easy in the worst part of town
And now I'm fine, it wasn't meant to last
I've one thing to say and that's
Thanks for nothing, kiss my ass
Thanks for nothing, kiss my ass

Thanks for nothing, kiss my ass
Thanks for nothing, kiss my ass
Thanks for nothing, kiss my ass
Kiss my ass, kiss my ass
Oh, kiss my ass, kiss my ass, kiss my ass, kiss my ass


2.Freak

How many times can you look me in the eye
And tell me everything is fine when I know it's not?
I don't even know what I should say now
I can't speak, I am such a freak

Trapped in a box, feeling so small
Can't feel a thing, can't feel at all
People they sat laughing at me
Pointing my face, call me a freak

This world is not my own
I was meant to be alone
And there is nothing I can do to save me now

How many times can you look me in the eye
And tell me everything is fine when I know it's not
I don't even know what I should say now
I can't speak, I am such a freak

Feeling so high, up on a cloud
Falling to black back on the cloud
Picture my lines, picture my face
Won't go outside, want to erase

These things that haunt my mind
Think about them all the time
And there's nothing I can do to save me now

How many times can you look me in the eye
And tell me everything is fine when I know it's not
I don't even know what I should say now
I can't speak, I am such a freak

How many times can you look me in the face
Tell me everything's in place when I know it's not
I don't even know what I should say now
I can't speak, I am such a freak, I'm a freak

How many times can you look me in the eye
And tell me everything is fine when I know it's not, hey

How many times can you look me in the eye
And tell me everything is fine when I know it's not
I don't even know what I should say now
I can't speak, I am such a freak

How many times can you look me in the face
Tell me everything's in place when I know it's not
I don't even know what I should say now
I can't speak, I am such a freak

I'm a freak
I, now, now, now, now, freak
I'm a freak, I'm a freak
All alone in the world, don't have anyone


3.Stoned

Lyricist:Samuel Hollander, David Anthony Katz, Cameron Leahy

She feels good, she feels good

Candy cane, eyes, black licorice
Lipstick, teeth that you can't forget
Yeah, yeah, yeah and you won't regret
Come on, come on, come on

Smoke, screen, stare like cellophane
All wrapped up inside my brain
Hey, hey, hey, can't get away
Oh, come on, come on, come on

She feels good, she feels good
She feels good
So let everybody know I'm better giving up
Feel stoned, I feel stoned

Telephone booth and a living room
Better hurry up 'cause I'm coming soon
Oh, oh, oh, it's just me and you
Come on, come on, come on, yeah

She feels good, she feels good
She feels good
So let everybody know I'm better giving up
Feel stoned, I feel stoned

Yeah, I want you all the time
Got to make you mine, make me feel so high
Yeah, just say you want my time
Say yeah, yeah, yeah

She feels good, she feels good
She feels good
So let everybody know I'm better giving up
Feel stoned, I feel stoned
I feel stoned, I feel stoned


4.I Just Wanna Run

Lyricist:Cameron Leahy

I just wanna run, hide it away
Run because they're chasing me down
I just wanna run, throw it away
Run before they're finding me out

I just wanna run

I just wanna run, I'm out here all alone
I try to call your house, can't reach you on the phone
I'll gather up the nerve, I'm packing up my bag
It's more than you deserve, don't treat me like a drag

I'm feelin' like I keep on talking, I'm repeating
Myself, my words lost all meaning
I keep talking
I repeat myself

I just wanna run, hide it away
Run because they're chasing me down
I just wanna run, throw it away
Run before they're finding me out

I just wanna run
I just wanna run

Like a game of chess, I predict your move
I think I know you better, better than you do
I'm sick of feeling weak, forgotten and confused
Sick of losing sleep thinking about you

I'm feelin' like I keep on talking, I'm repeating
Myself, my words lost all meaning
I keep talking
I repeat myself

I just wanna run, hide it away
Run because they're chasing me down
I just wanna run, throw it away
Run before they're finding me out

I just wanna run
I just wanna run
Throw it away

I just wanna run, hide it away
Run because they're chasing me down
I just wanna run, throw it away
Run before they're finding me out

I just wanna run

I just wanna run, hide it away
Run because they're chasing me down
I just wanna run, throw it away
Run before they're finding me out

I just wanna run
I just wanna run
(Won't find me out, won't find me out)
I just wanna run


5.She Knows

She knows, she knows now
She knows, she knows now
She knows, she knows now
Because your face says it all back on the wall

You walk in the door and see your face
You're feeling like somethings out of place
She runs her fingers through her hair
She's not looking anywhere

And with a glance she knows the truth
She's discovered the real you
Take off the mask and now she's running
Running, I guess

She knows, she knows now
What you said
Knows, she knows now
What you did
Knows, she knows now
Because your face says it all back on the wall

She's not a girl you can replace
Such an adept without her space
You know you did it, oh, you know you did it
Now you've gone and lost it all for good

There's something beating that's inside of your head
'You've got one more chance or I'm leaving', she said
And if she's leaving then she's leaving alone
'Cause she knows

She knows, she knows now
What you said
Knows, she knows now
What you did
Knows, she knows now
Because your face says it all back on the wall

And she knows, she knows now
What you've done
Knows, she knows now
Where you go
Knows, she knows now
Because your face says it all back on the wall

This love calls for the portion
But we're lost in emotion
Divide love by a quotient
Forever and ever

Oh, oh, all your devotion
So far, deep as the ocean
But we're lost in commotion
Because your face says it all back on the wall

She knows, she knows now
What you said
Knows, she knows now
What you did
Knows, she knows now
Because your face says it all back on the wall

She knows, she knows now
What you've done
Knows, she knows now
Where you go
Knows, she knows now
Because your face says it all back on the wall
Your face says it all back on the wall


6.Let's Be Animals

Phantom faces hide in dark places
We feel safe away from anyone at all
The secret obsession, we hold in possession
The very thing that keeps you traveling inside my dreams

So let's take off the clothes, run through the streets
Scream at the moon and scuff up our feet
Won't hear a word, sing, brother, sing, we're terrible
Let's be animals, oh

Our mothers and fathers were lovers before us
We were just creatures who were born to carry on
And maybe we're evil, we're mostly just people
Afraid of the living 'cause we might just think it's fun

So let's take off the clothes, run through the streets
Scream at the moon and scuff up our feet
Won't hear a word, sing, brother, sing, we're terrible

So let's kiss in the dark, sleep in the trees
Go where we like and do what we please
Won't hear a word, sing, brother, sing, we're terrible
Let's be animals, oh, let's be animals, oh

Kiss in the dark, sleep in the trees
Go where we like and do what we please
Kiss in the dark, sleep in the trees
Go where we like and do what we please

Kiss in the dark, sleep in the trees
Go where we like and do what we please
Kiss in the dark, sleep in the trees
Go where we like

Let's be animals, oh, let's be animals, oh

Kiss in the dark, sleep in the trees
Go where we like and do what we please
Let's be animals, oh, let's be animals


7.Wake Up

It's time to wake up
I feel like the world is on a string
And when I wake up
I feel like I can do almost anything

And I remember
That there's so much more to see
And I remember
That you're lying next to me

Don't want to wake up
Feel like I slept through all my life
Don't want to break up
I wanna have you almost every night

And in the summer
We can take a chance to feel alive
And we would venture
And we would care if we'd survive

'Cause I'm waiting for you
Like I know that you do
We can run and run and run again
Run and run and run

'Cause someday we might find
That we ran out of time
So let's go run and run and run again
Run and run and run again, she sang

'Cause when I wake up
I wanna have to plan for our escape
Don't wanna make up
Another bad excuse to stay away

Yeah, I remember
That there's so much more to see
And I remember
That you're all, all over me

'Cause I'm waiting for you
Like I know that you do
We can run and run and run again
Run and run and run

'Cause someday we might find
That we ran out of time
So let's go run and run and run again
Run and run and run again, she sang

Gotta make some time
To make some time
We gotta make some time
To make some time

'Cause I'm waiting for you
Like I know that you do
We can run and run and run again
Run and run and run

'Cause someday we might find
That we ran out of time
So let's go run and run and run again
Run and run and run again, she sang

Gotta make some time
To make some time


8.Alibi

Give me your reasons why
I wanna see you in a different light
You set me up and now you're breaking all the rules
You act like I'm a fool

I learned a lot today
About the silly little games you play
Piecing the puzzle but it don't seem to provide
And reasons why

Oh, it's never quite enough now
Give me your reasons why
You got no alibi

Oh, it's never quite enough now
Give me your reasons why
You got no alibi

You've got me feeling like I'm hypnotized
Your double vision seeing through X-rayed eyes
Keep pretending like it's fine
Please just tell me why

Oh, it's never quite enough now
Give me your reasons why
You got no alibi

Oh, it's never quite enough now
Give me your reasons why
You got no alibi

Oh, it's never quite enough now
Give me your reasons why
You got no alibi

Give me your reasons why
You got no alibi
Give me your reasons why
You got no alibi


9.Tell Me A Lie

My head is tangled up in knots another heart you left to rot
You left your letter by the phone that read you're never coming
home
Those things you won't concede they keep me on my knees
And now I start to buckle at the seams

Could you tell me a lie, lie
'Cause I don't want to hear those words tonight, tonight
'Cause I can't take the truth, baby give it a try
I've seen it a thousand times

I know those lips can lie
Could you tell me a lie, lie
'Cause I can't take
I can't take the truth from you, from you

I watched our castle turn to dust
Just one more girl that I can't trust
Those things you won't confess, no need to second guess
You broke my back and now there's nothing left

Could you tell me a lie, lie
'Cause I don't want to hear
Those words tonight, tonight
'Cause I can't take the truth

Baby, give it a try, I've seen it a thousand times
I know those lips can lie
Could you tell me a lie, lie
'Cause I can't take, I can't take the truth

Could you tell me a lie, lie
'Cause I can't take it, I can't
Could you tell me a lie, lie
'Cause I can't take the truth

Baby, give it a try, I've seen it a thousand times
I know those lips can lie
Could you tell me a lie, lie
'Cause I can't take, I can't take the truth from you


10.A Wonderful Surprise

Lyricist:Stacy Jones, Cameron Leahy, David Pavluk

Wonder how we got so far
Do you remember who you are?
Wanted just to make you proud
But now the thought about you

The only love I've ever had
Is with a stranger who I never met
Watch me in the dark
In the room where she will never know

So if you really have to go
Then just, well, maybe you should know
When you look into my eyes
You are a wonderful surprise

It's hard to see you face to face
When you're so far away
Makes me wanna touch that stream to see
Where it will take me

Wonder how we got so far
Do you remember who you are?
Think of you when I'm alone
Then you suddenly appear

So if you really have to go
Then just, well, maybe you should know
When you look into my eyes
You are a wonderful surprise

So if you really have to say
Oh, you just say and I will stay
When you look into my eyes
You are a wonderful surprise

If you let me go, don't let me
If you let me go, don't let me
I don't wanna go, don't let me go

If you let me go, don't let me
If you let me go, don't let me go

So if you really have to go
Then just, well, maybe you should know
When you look into my eyes
You are a wonderful surprise

So if you really have to say
Oh, you just say and I will stay
When you look into my eyes
You are a wonderful surprise
