Animal Arithmetic Lyrics

Wake up, cut my hair
Making food disappear
Riding bikes, making out
Elephants run you down

You and I run away
Blushing cheeks, howling wolves
Colorful fireworks

Every time, everyone, everything's full of life
Everyday, everywhere, people are so alive

We should all be alive!
We should all be alive!

Horfandi, þegjandi, tala við, skríðandi
Dreymandi, strjúka af, koma við ekki má
Mála á líkama, spilað á renglandi
Hlaupandi! Leikandi!


Get it on, let it out
Fucking and spúandi
Get it on, let it out
Fucking and kæfandi

We should all be alive!
We should all be alive!
We should all be alive!
Let's not stop, let's grow and live!
I see you colorful
I see you in the trees
I see you spiritful
You're in the breeze

I see it in your hands
Tree fingers draw a beam
I see you in the sand
Roll down the stream

I see you in the trees
I see you colorful
I see you in the breeze
You're spiritful

Tree fingers draw a beam
I see it in your hands
You're rolling down the stream
You're in the sand

I see you colorful
I see you in the trees
I see you spiritful
You're in the breeze

I see it in your hands
Tree fingers draw a beam
I see you in the sand
Roll down the stream
I see you in the trees
I see you colorful
I see you in the breeze
You're spiritful

Tree fingers draw a beam
I see it in your hands
You're rolling down the stream
You're in the sand

I see you colorful
I see you in the trees
I see you spiritful
You're in the breeze

I see it in your hands
Tree fingers draw a beam
I see you in the sand
Roll down the stream

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
