Animal Skins Lyrics
At the bottom of our rotten
Boat there is a lake.
Things with many limbs are creeping
Round my teenaged legs.
Late October, old wives' summer,
I'm all arms and legs.
Spread out like an adolescent
On my shallow bed.
So, with animal skins around us, we go home.
Home we go.
Boat there is a lake.
Things with many limbs are creeping
Round my teenaged legs.
I'm all arms and legs.
Spread out like an adolescent
On my shallow bed.
Home we go.

This song is about a group of teens who discover an old, stranded boat in the middle of a dried up river. They had been hiking for a while, so one of them lied down on the dry riverbed, but unbeknownst to them, an ancient Animal lived underneath the boat, in what was left of a lake. The Animal's limbs creep toward him, and grabbed him, but luckily, his friends killed the beast, and so they go home with the Animal's skin as a trophy.
