An Animal In Your Care

Lyrics for An Animal In Your Care

Time after time You will forgive me Like an animal in your care But give it time You will outlive me And take the bow back you put in my hair Made a parade of myself in the street outside your house For the New York photographer there I fell for crime and I fell for beauty I fell for you because you're the one that cared And when I die You can put on costumes In the style of the clothes I wore And sing the songs your lover taught you When you were too young to know that this was what they were for. La la la la. La la la la. lalala [x2] Like some dead relative You will remember me most by my funeral And all the beautiful toasts you made Take back the spade We've both been filling up our days like we were filling in a grave You let me hang, hang, hang around You put your ribbons in my hair It's in this language that I found I am an animal in your care An animal in your care An animal in your care An animal in your care It's in this language that I've found I am an animal in your care
