The Brunt lyrics

(pack - puerta - north - drummond)

Leaping quick on leopard`s back
I face the brunt of his attack
In the land of nod i`m king
Until the alarm clock rings

Stepping out from safety`s door
I hear the rushing traffic roar
Smiling to myself i say,
"...hooray its a brand new day"

Slashing my way through vine
I`ll kill if i have to
I`ll be there on time
Clawed through the freeway jam
I curse at the guy who passed me
Last time `round

In my office settled back
Drink a cup of coffee (black)
Stretch my mind and try`n erase
The thought of the day to face

Life is like the leopard`s den
And once you find you`ve fallen in
A safari of the heart
Surely comes to an end

Madness is our damnation
Strange is the situation we`re all in
To one man it matters nothing
Others it shatters something; no one wins

I could not see it myself (though i`d read about it)
I could not hear it myself (though i`d heard about it)
I could not feel it myself (though i knew that it was real)

I could not hear it myself (don`t you lie about it)
I could not feel it myself (but don`t you cry about it)

For there`s an animal in us all
The brunt of which you`ll see
