Dumb Animal Lyrics

Put your hands up,
here comes the badman.
Give up your booty, spill your treasure,
cause you can't deny this pleasure.

Tough-talking sluts,
can't get enough.
Drug-snorting madman.

Animal, spit out your cocaine,
to numb the psychic pain.
We don't even know what we're feelin' again.
No blind animal actors in this game.

Oh, love love,
all kinds of love.
In this cock-cunt equation,
in this cock-cock equation,
in this cunt-cunt equation,
in this sweet-sweet elation.
To fill me.

This nut
This nut
This nut
This nut
This nut
This nut
This nut might kill me!

Can't see the poison in your eyes.
Lick your tears and now we die.
It's fire, fire and ice.
Man, you've got me ruled.

Can't see the poison in your eyes.
Lick your tears and now we die.
It's fire, fire and ice.
Man, you've got me ruled.

So put your hands up,
here comes the badman.
Throw your panties on the floor,
and do what you came here for.
You've seen the stuff.
So give it up.
Come towards the sad man.

And the magic's still the sex,
From our human hand.
As if we didn't know what we're doing again.

Cry and love,
animal actors in this game.
No love,
no more toxic love.
In this cock-cunt equation,
in this cock-cock equation,
in this cunt-cunt equation,
in this sweet-sweet elation.
To fill me.

(Can't see the poison in your eyes.
Lick your tears and now we die.
It's fire, fire and ice.
Man, you've got me ruled.)

This nut
This nut
This nut
This nut
This nut
This nut
This nut might kill me!

The lyrics definitely aren't 100% correct. There's so much going on in this song which makes it kind of hard to make out the lyrics. If anyone has any corrections they'd like to make, please, feel free to leave a comment.

I don't know how you got most of what you got... This is completely off.

Yes, TVOTRfiend, I know they're not nearly correct, but this is the best that I could do. I listened to every part of the song over and over again trying to decipher the lyrics. I even slowed the song down with Audacity, but they're still hard to make out because there's so much going on musically.

I'd appreciate it if you (or anyone else) could present a corrected version.

I think these are better:

Put your hands up Here comes the bad man Give up your booty, spill your treasure 'Cause you can't deny this pleasure ... So put your hands up Here comes the bad man Throw your panties on the floor and do what you came here for you've seen the stuff So give it up All to the sad man ... And the magic's still the sex From our human hand As if we didn't know what we're doing again (in the end?) Cry and love Animal actors in this game ...

Thanks for that, peebeebee.

"In this cock-cunt equation In this cock-cock equation In this cunt-cunt equation"

Yeah... I guess they took it there.

I hear the line before the pianos as "This nut might kill me." "Nut" meaning orgasm as in, "just trying to get a nut like squirells."

I fixed the lyrics, hopefully you'll see it soon. I don't think it's going to be 100% perfect—maybe 90%—but it's much better than before. I'm having trouble with this part though:

"And the magic's still the sex From our human hand As if we didn't know what we're doing again

Cry and love Animal actors in this game"

I'm not entirely convinced those are the actual lyrics, but I couldn't discern what was being said at that moment (that's when the white noise kicks in hard). If someone can figure it out, be my guest. Otherwise, I just left it as is.

By the by, if anyone is interested, I thought this song goes really nicely with this series of paintings from Andrew Brandou called "Heaven and Hell." Here are some that I thought fit the bill perfectly. It covers the drug use part at least.
