I wanna be a sheep      I was a wolf for so long, I went up toward the moon   And devoured the defenseless sheep like baloons   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 bleed like a sheep   I just wanna be a sheep      I just wanna be a sheep following right along with the crowds   A ballon 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 draw anymore 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 o 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
