I am a salamander I am a salamander I am a salamander I am a salamander - a burning, burning salamander A sala - salamander I am a salamander [repeated]
I am an animal Man is the animal Man is You don't keep goats in papa pagodas You don't keep goats in papa pagodas And when you strip your plastic back You'll see, you'll see, you'll see Man is the animal Man is divine There is no time There is no time Those lights at the end of your tunnel You see those lights at the end of the tunnel? They are the fires of your burning brains They are the fires of your burning brains What kind of animal are you? What kind of animal are you? What kind of animal are you? What kind of animal are you?
