Been fighting with my sheets 
And nearly crying in my sleep 
Yes, I'm battling that well taught gripe 
The most restraining type 
You should have racing stripes 

The way you keep me in pursuit 
Sharpen the heel of your boot 
And you press it to my chest and you make me wheeze 
Then to my knees you do promote me 

I'm pinned down by the dark 
A-N-I-M-A-L 
Makes my head pirouette 
More than I won't be willing to confess 
D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S 

The light it fidgets through 
The thoughts'll soon revert to you 
About as bashful as a tribal dance 
The first and final chance 
And cause the audience 

The frighteners and fiends 
Divided up into two teams 
When the acrobat fell off the beam 
She broke everyone's hearts 

I'm pinned down by the dark 
A-N-I-M-A-L 
Makes my head pirouette 
More than I would be willing to confess 
D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S 

D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S 
The most unsuitable pet 
It's been long enough now so let's 
Make a mess lioness 

Pinned down by the dark 
I'm pinned down by the dark 

D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S 
A-N-I-M-A-L 
D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S 
A-N-I-M-A-L
