[Verse 1]
When superstars and cannonballs are running through your head
A television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Subway makes me nervous people pushing me too far
I've got to break away
So take my hand now
[Chorus]
Cause I want to live like animals
Careless and free like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
The wind in my hair and the sand at my feet
[Verse 2]
I've been having difficulties keeping to myself
Feelings and emotions better left up on the shelf
Animals and children tell the truth they never lie
Which one is more human
There's a thought now you decide
Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your hands yeah
Would you like to make a run for it
Would you like to take my hand, yeah
[Chorus]
Cause I want to live like animals
Careless and free like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
The wind in my hair and the sand at my feet
[Verse 3]
Sometimes this life can get you down
It's so confusing
There's so many rules to follow
And I feel it
Cause I just run away in my mind
Superstars and cannonballs running through your head
Television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Animals and children tell the truth they never lie
Which one is more human
There's a thought now you decide
[Bridge]
Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your hands yeah
Would you like to make a run for it
Would you like to take my hand yeah
[Repeat Chorus to Fade]
Cause I want to live like animals
Careless and free like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
The wind in my hair and the sand at my feet
Cause I want to live like animals
Careless and free like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
The wind in my hair
I want to live
And I want to live
So I want to live
Oh oh like animals
I want to live
Oh oh like animals
Like animals
Like animals
I want to feel it
Like animals
I want to feel it
Like animals
I want to feel it
Like animals

When superstars and cannonballs are running through your head

I've got to break away
So take my hand now

Careless and free like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
The wind in my hair and the sand at my feet
