Plumage

Animal
 I'm nothing more than an animal
 In search of another animal
 To tame and claim as my own
 You danced for me
 Sang me songs and you spread your wings
 Flashed your colors and lured me
 Into your nest for the night
 I was all suited up with nowhere to go
 But you made me honest and you gave me a home
 Now even when you draw me near
 I know you're still at arms length away
 And i don't want to be just anybody to you
 I want to be your one and only mate for life
 Instead i'm just like everybody else who's tried
 I've got to say
 So long to my ideals
 They served me once and served me well
 Now they only serve to spin my wheels
 I guess i ought to face my fears
 I once was tragically hip and beautifully fine
 Now my beautiful hips are tragically wide
 Now every time i try to draw you near
 I know you're still at arms length away
 At least try to make it feel sincere
 And worth my while to stay
 Cuz i don't want to be just anybody to you
 I want to be your one and only mate for life
 Instead i'm just like everybody else who's tried
 I've got to say
 I guess i ought to face my fears
 So long to my ideals
 They served me once and served me well
 Now they only serve to spin my wheels
 I guess i ought to face...
