Lyrics
Intro
I see it limping...
Dragged through the alley...
Breathing in broken glass...
Gnawing on the air...
Eyes rolling, rolling, rolling...
Something inside it is screaming...
But the mouth won’t move.
Instrumental
Verse 1
Nails on the pavement—skreee
Blood on the sidewalk—thick
Teeth in the gutter—cracked
It don’t know how to die!
Chorus
Wounded Animal!!
Wounded Animal!!
Ayyiiyiiyii
Eeee aaaah
Verse 2
Jaw locked tight—clench
Spine like a wire—twist
Nerves on fire—snap
It don’t know how to die!
Verse 3
Flesh like paper—tear
Eyes like needles—stab
Lips like barbed wire—snarl
It don’t know how to die!
Chorus
Wounded Animal!!
Wounded Animal!!
Ayyiiyiiyii
Eeee aaaah
Saxophone Solo
Verse 4
Howls in the sewer—deep
Lungs full of static—buzz
Heart like a hammer—crack
It don’t know how to die!
Verse 5
Teeth in the gutter—snap
Breath like poison—spit
Skin full of splinters—shake
It don’t know how to die!
It don't know how to die!
It don’t know how to die!
Drop
Bridge
Whispered, unhinged
Caged... cornered... foaming...
It don’t beg, it don’t bow, it just—
Lunges!
Bites!
Scratches!
Lashes out! Lashes out! Lashes out!
Instrumental
Verse 6
Crawling in circles—blind
Veins like highways—burn
Hands full of rust—clench
It don’t know how to die!
It don't know how to die!
It don't know how to die!
Chorus
Wounded Animal!!
Wounded Animal!!
Ayyiiyiiyii
Eeee aaaah
Chorus
Wounded Animal!!
Wounded Animal!!
Ayyiiyiiyii
Eeee aaaah
Ayyiiyiiyii

Outro
It twitches...
It shudders...
It lurches...
It laughs...
It laughs...
It laughs...
It LAUGHS!
