Verse

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

Chorus

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

Verse

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

Chorus

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
