i wanna be a sheep i was a wolf for so long howling up toward the moon and devoured the defenseless sheep like balloons that were tied to a railing and would anyway soon be deflated i met you in between my carnivorous meals and your hair was so soft and your body was real and the layers of leaves blew away to reveal a new pathway now i m tryin to hide my love away be discrete but you re a reason to change and end my violent streak a reason to be normal a reason to bleat like a sheep i just wanna be a sheep i just wanna be a sheep following right along with the crowds a balloon with my head floating up through the clouds and a little white string holding me to the ground could that be you it could be you i just wanna be a sheep now the clock on the wall plays a sinister game it treats every twelve hours exactly the same and you cannot return and you can t get away it keeps going and everything you ve done you can never undo so i knew that it s useless to try and be new but when you keep your eye on me steady and blue i keep trying anyways and that eye watching me makes me not want to hurt i don t want to drool any more blood on your shirt and i don t want to stay up and paw through the dirt i need sleep i just wanna be a sheep i just wanna be a sheep and be gentle and docile and dumb and to hear a voice call me and know i must come and a shepherd to lead me and to forget where i m from could that be you it could be you i just wanna i just wanna be a sheep yes i am the one who s been killing the flock i admit it and now that you re over the shock would you take me and keep me and turn back the clock with your pretty little hand i just wanna be a sheep
