Put your hand down, boy

Welcome to my zoo

Put your head inside

My big black wild while

I can still help you.

See the snake-baboon

Funky, chic and smooth

Honey can you spy

The divine ape-swine

'cause he can see you.

I'm a man, I'm a twisted fool

My hands are twisted, too

Five fingers, two black hooves

I'm a man, don't spin me a lie

Got toes and I can smile

I'm crooked but upright.

And all I ever want

Is just a little love

I said in purrs under the palms

And all I ever want is breaking me apart

I said to the thing that I once was.

I'm a man, I'm a twisted fool

My hands are twisted too

Five fingers, two black hooves

I'm a man, don't spin me a lie

Got toes and I can smile

I'm crooked but upright.

To the left now, boy

Underneath the moon

By the thick tan sand

And the tall thin grass

One more thing for you.

See the distant flume

In the sleepy dunes

Makes my nerves clench close

And my bones go cold

When I see that room.

And all I ever want

Is just a little love

I said in purrs under the palms

And all I ever want

Is breaking me apart.

I'm a man, I'm a twisted fool

My hands are twisted too

Five fingers, two black hooves

I'm a man, don't spin me a lie

Got toes and I can smile

I'm crooked but upright.
