Leaping quick on leopard's back I face the brunt of his attack In the land of nod i'm king Until the alarm clock rings
Stepping out from safety's door I hear the rushing traffic roar Smiling to myself i say, '...hooray its a brand new day'
Slashing my way through vine I'll kill if i have to I'll be there on time Clawed through the freeway jam I curse at the guy who passed me Last time 'round
In my office settled back Drink a cup of coffee (black) Stretch my mind and try'n erase The thought of the day to face
Life is like the leopard's den And once you find you've fallen in A safari of the heart Surely comes to an end
Madness is our damnation Strange is the situation we're all in To one man it matters nothing Others it shatters something; no one wins
I could not see it myself (though i'd read about it) I could not hear it myself (though i'd heard about it) I could not feel it myself (though i knew that it was real)
I could not hear it myself (don't you lie about it) I could not feel it myself (but don't you cry about it)
For there's an animal in us all The brunt of which you'll see
