Brother can you feel it
Been out here all alone
There's shadows in the moonlight
Kings and queens of the afterglow
Sister can you hear it
The calling from the deep
The evolutionary instinct
To get up and, move your body
You're an animal
It's phenomenal
The monkeys, they work their abdominals
Limb to limb, tree by tree
Get up and move your body
You're an animal
It's phenomenal
The monkeys, they work their abdominals
Limb to limb, tree by tree
Get up and move your body
There's blood on the horizon
There's danger closing in
A violent disposition
Always reaching for the oxygen
We got eyes up on the high ground
And circling above
Appearing out through the tall grass
Feel the breathing creeping next to us
You're an animal
It's phenomenal
The monkeys, they work their abdominals
Limb to limb, tree by tree
Get up and move your body
You're an animal
It's a carnival
Watch your step, it's ephemeral
Limb to limb, tree by tree
Get up and move your body
