Lyrics:
She walks like a leopard
Her feet padding down down down
With spots on her shadow
That sway as the sun goes 'round
He lies in the orchard
And gazes into the sun
His body is burning
But not for just anyone
One more animal
One more fox will slip away
You're an animal
Like your father in his day
I watch through the winter
I watch and I go insane
I see the formations
But don't make me look again
One more animal
No one thought would get away
Hear the orchestra
Of the leopard and her prey
That sway as the sun goes down 4a
His past is a present 7a
His present is just begun 8a
Like your father in a way 12a
She moves into orbit 13a
And half of her face is nice 14a
To you in your hovel 15a
Alone as a sacrifice 16a
One more animal 16.1a
Bites into the soft, white dove 16.2a
One more animal 16.3a
Breaking out in colored love 16.4a
She crouches, a leopard 16.5a
Right opposite on the drain 16.6a
You open a window 16.7a
And then you are on a train 16.8a
Hear the crunching sound 19a
No guitar tab entered.
