Yeah, when I was only 17, 
                          
I could hear the angels whispering
                    
So I droned into the woods and 
                
wondered aimlessly about till
                                
I heard my mother shouting through the fog
     ...and so on... it looks like he throws in some Dsus9s after D too    
                           
It turned out to be the howling of a dog
                 
or a wolf to be exact
                                       
The sound sent shivers down my back
                          
but I was drawn into the pack
                     
And before long, they allowed me 
                        
to join in and sing their song
                               
So from the cliffs and highest hill, yeah
                    
we would gladly get our fill,
                                
howling endlessly and shrilly at the dawn. 
                                          
And I lost the taste for judging right from wrong. 
                           
For my flesh had turned to fur, yeah 
                           
And my thoughts, they surely were turned to 
                      
instinct and obedience to God. 

            X2

Chorus
                  
You can wear your fur
              
like the river on fire.
                
But you better be sure
                    
if your makin' God a liar. 
                              
I'm a rattlesnake, babe,
               
I'm like fuel on fire.
                         
So if you're gonna' get made,
                                       /  
don't be afraid of what you've learned.        

                    
On the day that I turned 23, 
                                    Dsus9 
I was curled up underneath a dogwood tree. 
                
When suddenly a girl 
                         
with skin the color of a pearl, 
           
wandered aimlessly, 
                         
but she didn't seem to see. 
                                    
She was listenin' for the angels just like me. 
                         
So I stood and looked about.
                               
I brushed the leaves off of my snout. 
                  
                                               
And then I heard my mother shouting through the trees. 
                                                 
You should have seen that girl go shaky at the knees. 
                      
So I took her by the arm
                          
we settled down upon a farm. 
                    
And raised our children up as 
                           
gently as you pleased.

            X2
   
                               
And now my fur has turned to skin.
                              
And I've been quickly ushered in 
                               
to a world that I confess I do not know.
                                               
But I still dream of running careless through the snow.
                                     
An' through the howlin' winds that blow,
                          
across the ancient distant flow,
                                     
it fill our bodies up like water till we know.
             X2
 
Chorus
