The Animals Know - Elysian Fields

Taking a ride in the country

I don’t mind going slowly

The smell of grass and trees

And dancing leaves tickling my nose

I love a skunk by the roadside

When he’s warning off his foes

Intoxicating, heady arousal

The animals know

The animals know

And when I pass a reservoir

I play out a little fantasy

No man exists, not even me

A time before discovery

And the clouds set me free again

As they aimlessly drifting

Nowhere to be, no one to see

The animals know

Maybe I’m never coming back

On these country roads

I might lose my track

On these country roads

I might erase my tracks

Spider balanced on the Queen’s lace

Butterfly sipping from a pond

Oh, how we breathe the mystery

The animals know

Maybe I’m never coming back

On these country roads

I might lose my track

On these country roads

I might erase my tracks
