Wild God (Live God)

"Wild God"

Once upon a time, a wild god zoomed

All through his memory in which he was entombed

It was rape and pillage in the retirement village

And in his mind he was a man of great virtue and courage

Flew out the window with his long, trailing hair

And the smoke from the bodies went straight up in the air

He was a wild god searching for what all wild gods are searching for

Flew through the dying city like a prehistoric bird

Went searching for the girl down on Jubilee Street

Who died in a bedsit in 1993

He flew to the top of the world and looked around

Said, "Where are my people? Where are my people to bring your spirit down?"

Ooh, he'll never

Bring your spirit down

A wild god searching for a faraway girl

Who was basically a mirage but nevertheless loomed large

She'd hang under the rail as he blew 'round the room

She'd make love with a kind of efficient gloom

The people on the ground cried, "When does it start?"

And the wild god says, "It starts with the heart, with the heart, with the heart"

The people on the ground cried, "When does it end?"

And the wild god says, "It depends, but it mostly never ends

'Cause I'm a wild god flying and a wild god swimming

And I'm an old, sick god dying and crying and singing"

Bring your spirit down

Oh, we're wild gods, baby, we're wild gods

Bring your spirit down

He's moving through the flames of anarchy

Moving through the winds of tyranny

To the sweet, sweet tears of liberty

Yeah, moving 'round the world

Moving through your body like a beautiful bird

Moving 'round the world

Well, if you're feeling lonely and if you're feeling blue

And if you don't know what to do

Bring your spirit down

Oh, we're wild gods, baby, we're wild gods

Yeah, bring your spirit down

We're going to the cradle of Africa

We're going to Russia, we're going to China

To the United States of America

Moving 'round the world

Moving like a great, big, beautiful bird

Moving 'round the world

Here we go, here we go

Here we go, here we go

Here we go, here we go

Bring your spirit down

Oh, we're wild gods, baby, we're wild gods

Yeah, bring your spirit down

Here we go

Well, if you're feeling lonely and if you're feeling blue

And if you don't know what to do

Bring your spirit down

Oh, we're wild gods, baby, we're wild gods

Bring your spirit down, alright

Here we go, here we go

Here we go, here we go

Here we go, here we go

Here we go

Bring your spirit down

Thank you
