I was dreaming of your love
I was lost in your arms embrace
Our bodies collide together
Whoa, this ultimate betrayal
The heart will not resign
What could be said, what could be done?
I hold out hope
For your reciprocation
Like an animal
These thoughts have gone beyond my control
For pleasure
Maybe just amusement
This overwhelming urge
Towards you I feign disinterest
While I covet the attention
While I crave your affection
Ravenous with lust
Jackal in heat, spit dripping
This mechanical impulse
Knows not loyalty or mercy
Like an animal
These thoughts have gone beyond my control
For pleasure
Maybe just amusement
Like an animal
These thoughts have gone beyond my control
For pleasure
Maybe just amusement
