Desires muck and algae were the shadows on the wall
   glasses shatter ornaments on to the ground they fall
   our hair like anemone's that wave beneath the seas
   our fingers are like the fingers of baboons up in the trees
   and the shapes between us turn into animals
   the shapes between us
   The lion is your anger as it smashes up the chair
   the zebra is my answers as your pounding up the stairs
   that's black and white and yes and no and can't make up it's mind
   when you gonna see that love is dumb as well as blind
   oh the shapes between us turn into animals
   the shapes between us
   when the night is over and the dawn comes shining through
   everything is smashed to bits including me and you
   the animals are snoring open-mouthed inside the cage
   waiting for the wine to turn and ache into a rage
   'cause the shapes between us turn into animals
   the shapes between us
