Animal X
Animal X & Y: Cosmic Connection and Existential Reflection
Lyrics
There was a girl, call her "Animal X"
Introduction of a character named "Animal X," a girl.
Twenty-two, twenty-four, twenty-five
Describes the age of Animal X as 22, 24, and 25.
It's hard to tell, it's hard to tell
Uncertainty about her age.
She comes from the city where there is light and air
Animal X's origin in a city with light and air.
Where you can watch television
Listing activities available in the city.
And you can go to the movies
-And read books, just for the joy of it
-She went out walking
Animal X goes for a walk.
She was drawn along by a kind of humming
She is drawn by a mysterious humming or prayer-like feeling.
A kind of praying, a kind of prayer
-And she winds up down on the waterfront
Animal X ends up on the waterfront and boondocks.
Out on the boondocks
-Out on the boondocks
-Yeah, and at the gates she meets a boy
She meets a boy, Animal Y, at the gates.
Animal Y
Introduction of Animal Y.
Twenty-two, twenty-four
Uncertainty about Animal Y's age.
It's hard to tell, it's hard to tell
-I mean, I never really can tell
-But he wasn't her type
Animal Y is not her usual type.
He was a different kind
Despite differences, they are built for each other cosmically.
But they were built for each other
-Bit by bit, and piece by piece
They are intricately made for each other for the joy of it.
They were built for each other, by some cosmic hand
-Just for the joy of it
-Down in the boondocks
Reference to the boondocks and waterfront again.
Down on the waterfront
-And he calls out something in a language she doesn't understand
Animal Y speaks in an incomprehensible language.
And he calls out something in a language she doesn't understand
-And she put her hand on his stomach, just for the joy of it
Animal X touches different body parts of Animal Y, discovering disconnection.
But his stomach was where his head was
-And she put her hand on his head, just for the joy of it
-But his head was where his feet were
-And she put her hand on his heart, right there on his heart
-Just for the joy of it
-But his heart was laying down on the road
-And Animal X says to Animal Y
Animal X expresses a philosophical perspective on gods and sky.
"They can build their gods way up high
-They can build their gods, but they don't own the sky"
-Says Animal X to Animal Y
-"They can build their gods way up high
-And I'll lay right down beside you
-Be a bride of Frankenstein"
-He was a head with no heart
Description of Animal X and Animal Y's physical disconnection.
He was an arm with no hand
-He was a leg with no feet
-He was a head with no heart
-She was a head with no heart
-She was an arm with no hand
-She was a leg with no feet
-She was a head with no heart
-Yeah, ah, 501s, 511s, 603s it's hard to tell, it's hard to tell
Reference to jeans (501s, 511s, 603s) with uncertainty about the type.
Yeah, but she sure looked good going down the waterfront
Animal X looks good going down the waterfront and boondocks.
Yeah, she sure looked good going down the boondocks
