Translation
Bilingual
Science, muck and algebra, the shadows on the wall
Plaster shatter, ornaments onto the ground they fall
Our hair are like anemones that wave beneath the seas
Our fingers are the fingers of baboons up in the trees
And the shapes between us turn into animals
The shapes between us
ย
The lion is your anger as it smashes up the chairs
The zebra is my answer as you're pounding up the stairs
It's black and white and yes and no and can't make up its mind
When you gonna see that love is dumb as well as blind?
All the shapes between us turn into animals
Yeah, the shapes between us
ย
When the night is over and the dawn comes shining through
Everything is smashed to bits, including me and you
The animals are snoring open-mouthed inside the cage
Waiting for the wine to turn an ache into a rage
'Cause the shapes between us turn into animals
The shapes between us
