Your life is like a trail
Extending through the town
My path is here at home
There’s no need to rush around
You spend your time
Looking for a new path
Run away from home
To find one covered in grass
I’m gonna walk this trail
I have nowhere else to go
I am gonna walk this trail
Because it’s the one I know
Out on the trail once again
Running from who they thought I should be
Left all my foes and my friends
Town to town, spreading my seed
Animal, an animal, I am an animal you see
An animal, an animal, I’d rather be that than a machine
Chasing the past out again
They tried hard to civilize me
I’m not an animal they said
Make decisions rationally
Animal, an animal, I am an animal you see
An animal, an animal, I’d rather be that than a machine
The irony is not lost on me
I’m a rootless man planting tree after tree
Chasing the past out again
They tried hard to civilize me
I’m not an animal they said
Make decisions rationally
Animal, an animal, I am an animal you see
An animal, an animal, I’d rather be that than a machine
I can finally see
The animal in me
