Selfish Animal Songtext
von Coretta Scott

I′ve been clean for so long
Clinging to a point of view
Innocence I couldn't give
Well, I′ve blood in my hands
With the taste of your body
And in the morning when you wake
Will you regret all those things
I couldn't bear mentioning?
What they meant to me
Cause it's meant something to me

Do you want it? Be honest
Just to kill with your hand in my pocket
Is that all I am? (Is that all I am to you?)
A selfish animal
Do you want it? Be honest
Just to kill with your hand in my pocket
Is that all I am? (Is that all I am to you?)
A selfish animal
Is that all I am? (Is that all I am to you?)


I led you on and brushed you off
Joni said I could always get what I want
But I don′t know what I want
I just want, I want, I want, I want, I want, I want
And you fought too, so hard
Your body is bullets, blinded, caught in the crossfire
Yeah, this is a war
And this battle finds me pinned down on the floor

Do you want it? Be honest
Just to kill with your hand in my pocket
Is that all I am? (Is that all I am to you?)
A selfish animal
Do you want it? Be honest
Just to kill with your hand in my pocket
Is that all I am? (Is that all I am to you?)
A selfish animal
Is that all I am? (Is that all I am to you?)


Quiver beneath my hands
While you′re begging me to stop, stop, stop
What if I could, I'm losing control
And I can′t seem to quit, quit, quit
These sheets could talk and spill their guts
Jury wants to know just one thing
How many before have tasted these lips?
Can't you see the flavor′s wearing out?
Wearing, wearing out
Wearing, wearing out
Wearing, wearing out

Do you want it? Be honest
Just to kill with your hand in my pocket
Is that all I am? (Is that all I am to you?)
A selfish animal
Do you want it? Be honest
Just to kill with your hand in my pocket
Is that all I am? (Is that all I am to you?)
A selfish animal
Is that all I am?
