Lyrics

From the primordial soup (Oh-oh)

Out of the dim and the gloom we came (Oh-oh)

We are animals (Oh-oh)

By any other name (Oh-oh)

From the primordial soup (Oh-oh)

Out of the dim and the gloom we came (Oh-oh)

We are animals (Oh-oh)

One unbroken chain (Oh-oh)

I need to get you out of your cave, man

(Oh-oh)

I need to let you out of your cage and set you free

(Oh-oh)

If tonight's the night

I'm gonna show you I ain't got no game plan

(Oh-oh)

Out from under a rock (Oh-oh)

From a prehistoric sea, we crawl (Oh-oh)

We are animals (Oh-oh)

Animal, one and all (Oh-oh)

Out from under a rock (Oh-oh)

From the prehistoric sea we came (Oh-oh)

We are animals, animal

(Oh-oh)

One unbroken chain (Oh-oh)

I know what you're searching for

(Oh-oh)

I pray you find it, on your instinct

(Oh-oh)

I don't need your hurtin', boy

(Oh-oh)

Animalistic

I need to get you out of your cave, man

I wanna let you out of your cage and set you free

If tonight's the night

(Oh-oh)

I'm gonna show you I ain't got no game plan

(Oh-oh)

I need to get you out of your cave, man

I wanna let you out of your cage and set you free

If tonight's the night

I'm gonna show you I ain't got no game plan

(Oh-oh)

If you call out tonight (Oh-oh)

And hear the call of the wild, reply

(Oh-oh)

You are animal, animal

(Oh-oh)

Not so deep inside (Oh-oh)

If you call out in vain (Oh-oh)

Everyone of us just the same (Oh-oh)

We are animal (Oh-oh)

Dare not speak its name (Oh-oh)

I know what you're searching for

I pray you find it, on your instinct

(Oh-oh)

I don't need your hurtin', boy

(Oh-oh)

Animalistic

(Oh-oh)

I need to get you out of your cave, man

(Primitive)

I'm gonna let you out of your cage and set you free

If tonight's the night

(Oh-oh)

I'm gonna show you I ain't got no game plan

(Primitive love for me)

I need to get you out of your cave, man

(Primitive)

I'm gonna let you out of your cage and set you free

If tonight's the night

(Oh-oh)

I'm gonna show you I ain't got no game plan

(Primitive love for me)

(Oh-oh)
