The Great Gatsby: Chapter 4

I'm driving black on black
Just got my license back
I got this feeling in my veins this train is coming off the track
I'll ask polite if the devil needs a ride
Because the angel on my right isn't hanging out with me tonight
I'm driving past your house while you were sneaking out
I got the car door opened up so you can jump in on the run
Your mom don't know that you were missing
She'd be pissed if she could see the parts of you that I've been kissing
No, we're never going to quit
Isn't nothing wrong with it
Just acting like we're animals
No, no matter where we go
Because everybody knows
We're just a couple of animals
So come on baby, get in
Get in, just get in
Check out the trouble we're in
You're beside me on the seat
Got your hand between my knees
And you control how fast we go by just how hard you want to squeeze
It's hard to steer when you're breathing in my ear
But I got both hands on the wheel while you got both hands on my gears
By now, no doubt that we were heading south
I guess nobody ever taught her not to speak with a full mouth
Cause this was it, like flicking on a switch
It felt so good I almost drove into the ditch
So come on baby, get in
Get in, just get in
Look at the trouble we're in
We were parked out by the tracks
We're sitting in the back
And we just started getting busy
When she whispered "what was that?"
The wind, I think 'cause no one else knows where we are
And that was when she started screaming
"That's my dad outside the car!"
Oh please, the keys, they're not in the ignition
Must have wound up on the floor while we were switching our positions
I guess they knew that she was missing
As I tried to tell her dad it was her mouth that I was kissing
Screaming
So come on baby, get in
We're just a couple of animals
Get in, just get in
Isn't nothing wrong with it
Check out the trouble we're in
Get in, just get in

The song I chose to have represent chapter four was "Animals" by Nickleback. I chose to use this song because, in chapter four, we are introduced to more characters at Gatsby's party. However, none of these characters have real names. For example, there was Leeches, Black bucks, Ferrets, Bulls, and Duckweed. The reason they are not given "human" names is because they all lack human emotions. They are all like puppets made from the same person because they all act the same.
