He prophesied that God would come
He's been and gone, left you alone
His tongues and eyes, oh why, why would I?
So you wouldn't try to have her believe it
It's obvious, so come to your senses
Take a ride to the times you live in
You're no fool, just a cruel, cruel animal
Are you so cruel? you're such a cruel, cruel animal
In came the flood, in came the flood
And everything (and everything) is as it was
The vacant earth, cold dawn out of bed
The darkened sky, the same sky you dressed in
It's obvious, so come to your senses
Take a ride to the times you live in
You're no fool, just a cruel, cruel animal
Are you so cruel? you're such a cruel, cruel animal
He's been and gone, left you alone
His tongues and eyes, oh why, why would I?
So you wouldn't try to have her believe it
It's obvious, so come to your senses
Take a ride to the times you live in
You're no fool, just a cruel, cruel animal
Are you so cruel? you're such a cruel, cruel animal
In came the flood, in came the flood
And everything (and everything) is as it was
The vacant earth, cold dawn out of bed
The darkened sky, the same sky you dressed in
It's obvious, so come to your senses
Take a ride to the times you live in
You're no fool, just a cruel, cruel animal
Are you so cruel? you're such a cruel, cruel animal
