A thousand needles of love
All intravenous at once
No matter the time I take to plan
She perfectly understands
The monkey nature of man

You soothe my animal soul
Something to have and to hold
And should you ever grow old
I want your body to know
A place that we've never been
Keeps me awake in a dream
And in this forest of old
You soothe my animal soul

Opposable thumbs sometimes aren't enough
So we wrestle and bite just to prove that we're tough
And too many times I've begged for change
To perfectly rearrange
This chemical in my brain

You soothe my animal soul
Something to have and to hold
And should you ever grow old
I want your body to know
A place that we've never been
Keeps me awake in a dream
And in this forest of old
You soothe my animal soul

You soothe my animal
You soothe my animal
You soothe my animal soul
You soothe my animal
You soothe my animal
You soothe my animal soul
You soothe my animal
You soothe my animal
You soothe my animal soul
You soothe my animal
You soothe my animal
You soothe my animal soul
