Songtext zu 'Animals And Freaks' von Husky

I'm an old man, you're probably not interested I see
But I'll tell you anyway, about the girl who came to stay
Thirty years, six months, and two days ago

She walked into the party with Joan de Monmarquis
She wore her beauty like a cloak, with the devil up her sleeve
And she was ancient like the Greeks, amongst us animals and freaks
I lost my mind, never to find the useless thing again

There was something going on that night
But I don't know what it was
There was something going on that night
I was waiting, we were just waiting for it

I forgot everything I knew in the ancient sea that night
When she slipped her dress off shivering and clung to me so tight
Then she whispered in my ear, "There is nowhere else but here",
Nowhere, nowhere

There was something going on that night
But I don't know what it was
There was something going on that night
I was waiting, we were just waiting

You don't know yourself
You don't know yourself
You don't know yourself
Until she's had her way with you

We spent three weeks in a cheap hotel corroding by the sea
Tangled up in sheets and love and ancient misery
One day I woke to see her leave, she had an eagle on her sleeve
The last I heard she took the bird to catch snakes in Mexico

There was something going on that night
But I don't know what it was
There was something going on that night
I was waiting, we were just waiting for it
[x2]

You don't know yourself
You don't know yourself
You don't know yourself
Until your time was almost through

Hey man, do you wanna hear a story about me?
