Animal Games Lyrics

Your heart is like a dough, you shape it how you want
I can't stop thinking of how that makes me want you at all
Now you're playing all these games, that I don't know how to play
Now you say you love me, next you're going away
So I find new love 'cause that is what I do
Now you're scaring off the dogs (scaring off the dogs)
Killing off the sparrow (killing off the sparrow)
Howling like a wolf, poisoning the arrow

You shake the rope I'm walking, just to catch me when I fall
Turn while I'm still talking, next time I'll be gone
I write this in a letter, that is so you'll find
Now you're scaring off the dogs (scaring off the dogs)
Killing off the sparrow (killing off the sparrow)
Howling like a wolf, poisoning the arrow

Now you're creeping in the reeds (creeping in the reeds)
Spying like an eagle (spying like an eagle)
Fighting like a rooster, blood is in the water
Now I'm playing all these games, I'm getting better and better
I'm getting better and better, I'm getting better and better
So I find new love 'cause that is what I do
