Standin' on the corner of civilization
There's a time there's a place for me
In a world where I can't be found
Cold and mean people give me the creeps

Going to the jungle where the elephant roams
Got to get away gonna make it my home

Losing my taste for the human race
Social grace is a waste of time
It's absurd when I look around
So sublime that we blow my mind

Naked in the rain with a killer whale
I can taste the salt when I lick his tail

[chorus]
Naked in the rain
Doctor Doolittle what's your secret
Give it to me doctor
Don't keep it

I never met an animal that I didn't like
You can come to me I won't bite
Don't you know dog is man's best friend
There is some love that you can't fight

Naked in the rain with black tattoos
Runnin' through the woods laughin' @ the blues

(repeat chorus)

Listen to the talking heart in my chest
With this gift good Lord I am blessed
There's a lump and it's in my throat
I'm in love with the wilderness

Naked in the river skinny dippin' my way
In the waterfall I just wanna play

(repeat chorus twice)

    General Comment:I see this song as the 2nd half of Under The Bridge
    He says, "I feel so lonely"
    HE thinks I must LIVE! ANchary and animals! No more loneliness!
    and yearns to retun to being an animal, as opposed to a human with feelings. He wants to the simple although hellish life he once lead over feeling hurt and being complex. This I think relfects his inner junkie, the part of AK who takes the path of least resistance.

    General Comment:I think this song is like the second half of Under bridge. Like UTB is about mourning on his blues, and this is him "laughing at em" and trying to fight off his fears. Being naked in the. Careless and free.

    General Comment:This song is definitely inspired by the trip that Anthony and his friend and tattoo-artist Henk Schiffmacher made to the jungle of Borneo.
