Les Paroles : Animal stalking you at night
I'm a sucker for someone
And I got the prey insight Lyingon abed of leaves
In the modern times
You forget and let your spirit breathe
Captureme my blood is red Another victim of your ritual
For you my skin is shed
Ecstacy ain't whatyou find In the modern world Oneflick of my tongue changes
The meaning of the world
And you say
That's impossible
That's not impossible to do, oh
And you digest what I can see
The taste of you can be
I don't want to get eaten alive
'cause you're so dangerous No more hearts I cantrust, you see I don't want toget eaten alive To be eaten alive
Eaten alive
I don't ever want to be
Eaten alive
NowI got you on the run
And the quicker my senses
And the chance is, I'm the faster one
Iknow the universal law
Primeval times With a little stimulation
It'll come once more, and you say
That's impossible
It's not impossibleto do, oh
And you digest what I can see
The taste of you can be
I don't want to get eaten alive
'cause you're sodangerous
No more hearts I can trust
You see I don't want to get eaten alive
To be eaten alive
Eaten alive
I don't ever want to be
Eaten alive
I don't want to get eaten alive
'cause you're so dangerous No more hearts I can trust
You see
I don't want to get eaten alive
To be eaten alive
Tie me to a tree, crawl all over me
You can rip my shirt, drag me in the dirt
I will be your slave, anything you say
Idon't ever want to be eaten alive
I don't want to get eaten alive
''causeyou're so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust, you see
I don't want to get eaten alive
''cause you're so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust, you see I don't want to get eaten alive
''cause you're dangerous
No more hearts I can trust, yousee
I don't want to get eaten alive To be eaten alive
Gotta do her, crawl all over me
You can rip myshirt, drag me in the dirt I will be your slave, anything you say
I don't ever want to be, eaten alive
