Autodomesticated Animal

Tame your heart, don’t make them go away
They’re not ready for the words you say
Lonely is the tidal wave
Keep it quiet, always mend, but don’t break

Isn’t she wonderful? Autodomesticated animal
Ain’t it beautiful the way she speaks her mother’s mind?
Isn’t it lovely how she cages herself inside?
Oh, and ain’t it grand the way she’s clinging to your hand?

Move your body this way, kid
Be a little naked, but not too naked
You’re here for the others, so serve them first
You’re too soft if you say it hurts

Isn’t she wonderful? Autodomesticated animal
Ain’t it beautiful the way she speaks her mother’s mind?
Isn’t it lovely how she cages herself inside?
Oh, and ain’t it grand the way she’s clinging to your hand?

And in the right light
In the embers of the setting sun
She lets herself cry
For all the times she doesn’t run
As fast as she can the other way
As fast as she can

Isn’t she wonderful? Autodomesticated animal
Ain’t it beautiful the way she speaks her mother’s mind?
Isn’t it lovely how she cages herself inside?
Oh, and ain’t it grand the way she’s clinging to your hand?
Oh, and ain’t it grand the way she’s clinging to your hand?
Yeah, she’s so fine inside the lines
