Bm                                         D
I have a choice between the bat or the belt
Each time I hear about the hand you've been dealt
Spare me confession. It's confession you sell
Maybe I'll fall behind. But I don't mind
Because I'll catch up

Bm                      A/C#
I want a song that's indelible
     D
Like animal
   E
I hope you never see me wind up

Will I be happy on the back of the shelf
Will you be happy when we're sharing a cell
Spare me your questions since you know me so well
Someday you'll realize
That I get shy and I choke up

Chorus:
Bm                      A/C#
I want a song that's indelible
     D
Like animal
   E
I hope you never see me wind up
Bm                      A/C#
What is wrong with this animal
     D
I'm terrible
   E
I hope you never see me wind up

 G            B        F#
Farewell my sweet paramania
 G            B        F#   E
Farewell my sweet paramania

My only promise is that I'll never tell
Keep you at a distance from the things that I felt
I'll bite the bullet.
Take the beating Until I take it back anyway
What was I supposed to say?

I want a song that's indelible
Like animal
I hope you never see me wind up
What is wrong with this animal
I'm terrible
I hope you never see me wind up
