Animals

[Verse 1]
I love all of my animals
With every little bit of my broken heart
A higher price than all these valuables
Or any piece of fine art
I love all my animals
My cats and dogs, the rain and puddles
My bats and frogs, the swamps and the brothels
Where I live with all of my models in my head
After I pop my fifth bottle

[Verse 2]
I love all of my animals
More than life itself
They're in the pictures
I put on my shelf
Cause I drink Jack by the pitcher
Like I'm a mixture of
Jack the Ripper and Skippa da Flippa
(Jack the Ripper and Skippa da Flippa)
I wouldn't have all of my animals
If I wasn't such a self-destructive bitch
My animals are replacin' my kids
I've been impulsive
Obsessive-compulsive disorder
I've been on the border
I'm beat like I'm Mr. Porter
Get the scoop like a news reporter
Maybe I'd have more energy
If I had any lasting memories
In the action figure pack
The cancer sticks come as accessories
My transactions linger back
To the ring and the suit
Spent more money
Than I did any energy
Now I'm hangin' it up
Like Maggie did Gregory

[Verse 3]
Yo, I got the fuckin' dog I wanted
Him and the cats don't quite get along
But we'll make it work, oh yeah
We'll make it work
Same thing that happened
With your mom and your dad
When the shit got bad
They stayed friends
Instead of just stayin' mad
I kinda really wanted that
I really kinda relied on your ass
Now I've got all of these animals
Let 'em play in the grass
As I light up my cannabis

[Verse 4]
But I still love...
All of these damn animals
Yes, I still love all of these damn animals
And I still kinda love you too
But I don't think you
Think you love me like you used to
But I'm in hell with all of these animals
Sometimes I feel a bit radical
I know this shit isn't practical
I know the fear is irrational
I lost my muscles, I'm no Superman
And I'm puzzled in a drunken stupor, damn
