Wild Thing

Time can make more rubble out of dreams than anything

In a quiet neighborhood where she's livin' without wings

There's eyes behind the curtains and there's ears below the floor

Cracks inside the ceiling and there's shadows at the door

The boredom stirs a rage inside her soul

A rage that reaches out and takes control

Baby, she's a wild thing, yeah

Baby, she's a wild thing, yeah

Baby, she's a wild thing

Baby, she's a wild thing

Nine days out alone, sleepin' in the dirt

She walks back into town with bloodstains on her shirt

Everyone has questions, but no one wants to know

How far the anger in someone can really make them go

Her tangled hair and mud stains on her knees

Bruised ribs and rips on the side of her jeans

Baby, she's a wild thing, yeah (Wild thing)

Baby, she's a wild thing, yeah (Wild thing)

Baby, she's a wild thing (Wild thing)

Baby, she's a wild thing (Wild thing)

Well, I used to be a citizen in this town

Till my teeth turned gray and my hair fell out

All the civil, decent people, they don't wanna know

But a girl lookin' for trouble said she'd give me a go

While everybody's sleeping, yeah, the town is mine

From the crooked clock tower to the borderline

A night star static in the winter breeze

She's lyin' in the moonlight with her hands between my knees

She says it's all right

Well, it's all right by me

She says it's all right

Well, it's all right by me

Baby, she's a wild thing, yeah

Baby, she's a wild thing, yeah

Baby, she's a wild thing

Baby, she's a wild thing
