A wild ride, over stony ground Such a lust for life, the circus comes to town We are the hungry ones, on a lightning raid Just like a river runs, like a fire needs flame, oh I burn for you
I gotta feel it in my blood, whoa oh I need your touch, don't need your love, whoa oh (And I want, and I need) (And I lust, animal) (And I want, and I need) (And I lust, animal)
Cry wolf, given mouth-to-mouth Like a movin' heartbeat in the witching hour I'm runnin' with the wind, a shadow in the dust And like the drivin' rain, yeah, like the restless rust I never sleep
I gotta feel it in my blood, whoa oh I need your touch, don't need your love, whoa oh (And I want, and I need) (And I lust, animal) (And I want, and I need) (And I lust, animal) huh, ah
Cry wolf, baby, cry tough Gonna hunt you like an, an, an, an, an animal Gonna take your love and run
I gotta feel it in my blood, whoa oh I need your touch, don't need your love, whoa oh (And I want, and I need) (And I lust, animal) (And I want, and I need) (And I lust, animal)
tame me, tie me (And I lust, animal) make me your animal (And I want, and I need) show me, stroke me (And I lust, animal) let me be your animal
and I want (And I need, animal) ooh, ooh, ooh, animal (animal)
