Animal (4:05)

The slickest of riffs, maybe a little over-produced but unbeateable

A wild ride, over stony ground
Such a lust for life, the circus comes to town
We are the hungry ones, on a lightning raid
Just like a river runs, like a fire needs flame

    Love this band's drummer as someone with catastrophic seemingly hopeless loss of one arm and still one of the best drummers there is. One of my heroes!

    While typically not a fan of the genre, I love Hysteria madly, plus a track or two from their other albums. Some of their stuff makes me cringe. I did love Hysteria enought o see them live, though. Bucket list check off.

    I still have no idea what he's on about but sometimes, if I'm feeling a little tired, lines like this feel like sheer poetry. "Cry wolf, given mouth to mouth like a moving heartbeat in the witching hour / I'm running with the wind, a shadow in the dust, and like the driving rain, like the restless rust, I never sleep."
