|
I wanna be a sheep |
|
I was a wolf for so long, I went up toward the moon |
|
And devoured the defenseless sheep like baloons |
|
That were tied to a railing and would anyway soon |
|
Be deflated |
|
I met you in between my carnivorous meals |
|
And your hair was so soft and your body was real |
|
And the layers of leaves blew away to reveal |
|
A new pathway |
|
Now I'm tryin' to hide my love away, be discrete |
|
But you're a reason to change and end my violent streak |
|
A reason to be normal, a reason to bleed like a sheep |
|
I just wanna be a sheep |
|
I just wanna be a sheep following right along with the crowds |
|
A ballon with my head floating up through the clouds |
|
And a little white string holding me to the ground |
|
Could that be you? |
|
It could be you |
|
I just wanna be a sheep |
|
Now the clock on the wall plays a sinister game |
|
It treats every twelve hours exactly the same |
|
And you cannot return and you can't get away |
|
It keeps going |
|
And everything you've done you can never undo |
|
So I knew that it's useless to try and be new |
|
But when you keep your eye on me, steady and blue |
|
I keep trying anyways |
|
And that eye watching me makes me not want to hurt |
|
I don't want to draw anymore blood on your shirt |
|
And I don't want to stay up and paw through the dirt |
|
I need sleep |
|
I just wanna be a sheep |
|
I just wanna be a sheep and be gentle and docile and dumb |
|
And o hear a voice call me and know I must come |
|
And a shepherd to lead me and to forget where I'm from |
|
Could that be you? |
|
It could be you |
|
I just wanna, I just wanna be a sheep |
|
Yes, I am the one who's been killing the flock |
|
I admit it and now that you're over the shock |
|
Would you take me and keep me and turn back the clock |
|
With your pretty little hand? |
|
I just wanna be a sheep |
