This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation.
Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.
Ahh, ha
I'm almost human, can't help feelin' strange
The moon is out, I think I'm gonna change
You're so smooth and tender, a living, breathing dream
I've got to have you, baby, I'm listenin' for your scream
I'm almost human, I'm almost a man
I'm almost human, ooh
I'm almost human, baby please don't run away
Cause wherever you run I'll be a scream away
I'm very hungry and you're what I'm thinkin' of
Ooh baby, baby, baby, so hungry for your love
I'm almost human, oh, almost a man
I'm almost human, whoo
I'm very hungry and you're what I'm thinkin' of
Ooh baby, baby, baby, so hungry for your love
I'm almost human, I'm almost a man
I'm almost human, I'm almost human
I'm almost human, I'm almost human
I'm almost human, almost, almost, almost a man
I'm almost human
Almost, almost, almost, almost, almost, almost human
I'm almost human, I'm almost human
I'm almost human, almost a man
I'm almost human, almost, almost, almost
I'm almost human
I'm almost human, can't help feelin' strange
The moon is out, I think I'm gonna change
You're so smooth and tender, a living, breathing dream
I've got to have you, baby, I'm listenin' for your scream
I'm almost human, I'm almost a man
I'm almost human, ooh
I'm almost human, baby please don't run away
Cause wherever you run I'll be a scream away
I'm very hungry and you're what I'm thinkin' of
Ooh baby, baby, baby, so hungry for your love
I'm almost human, oh, almost a man
I'm almost human, whoo
I'm very hungry and you're what I'm thinkin' of
Ooh baby, baby, baby, so hungry for your love
I'm almost human, I'm almost a man
I'm almost human, I'm almost human
I'm almost human, I'm almost human
I'm almost human, almost, almost, almost a man
I'm almost human
Almost, almost, almost, almost, almost, almost human
I'm almost human, I'm almost human
I'm almost human, almost a man
I'm almost human, almost, almost, almost
I'm almost human
