Peter Gabriel - Animal Magic lyrics

Animal magic

Ah, what did you mean when you opened your
Mouth and let all our secrets out?
You told him what I was about
My cover was completely blown
I tell you darling
I've been watching the war films
I've got a few ideas of my own
Because after the film had ended
The call for recruit's was shown

And I'll be joining the professionals
I want to be a man
With all that animal magic
I'll do anything you can
I'm joining the professionals because I
Want to be a man look, I wave my wand
Watch the rabbit disappear
Join the professionals, learn to fight

I bet the two of you still laugh at
Me for being timid as a lamb
That may be still the way I look
It's no longer what I am
I've been across to Northern Ireland
I came home with a new kind of charge
I learned to hunt in the night
I learned about camouflage

I've been joining the professionals
And now that I'm a man
With all that animal magic
I'll match anything you can
I'm joining the professionals
This time I understand
There's no way you'll get by me
With the slightest slight of hand
Be joining the professionals
I want to be a man look! I wave my wand
Watch the rabbit disappear
Oh, join the professionals, learn to fight

Animal magic animal magic
Oh, animal magic yeah, animal magic
Animal magic animal magic
Animal magic animal magic
Animal magic animal magic
Animal magic
