Lyrics

Wild Thing

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You should seen it before you jumped on in, and realized that if you look before you leap then you decide to sink or swim

But you dove into that social pool, powdering your nose huh, and going home with people that you hardly even know

And you're a ghost

Now look at you, you hardly even speak, haven't woken up to the thought of getting clean in fuckin' weeks

And if you did, I guarantee you'd never leave the sheets, home alone until that fix comes, put you on your feet

And some blame it on the city, some blame it on the streets, some bury it inside beneath that dream of being free

But I can see it in your eyes, that you're aware of what it needs, how you feel like it's the only thing in love that doesn't leave

And it's a shame, cause I remember life without the games, and the bittersweet acknowledgement of how it's gonna change

But the rain can't wash you if you're laying in the dirt, and the pain can't change you if you blame it on the hurt/

So god help us

So god help us

So god help us

So god help us

I mean look at you, Mr. I-don't-even-have-a-clue

Mr. get it right the first time or shut it down from you

Cause you're the boss, and Daddy taught you how to be a mine

Via stepping out on Mommy and releasing with your hands

And now it hurts, cause you can't even question what is right, life is nothing but a challenge and you want to win the fight

So go ahead, try and make that old man proud, and beat that last remaining angel off your shoulder to the ground

And then escape, slap the world steady in its face and make moves on em, force em all to cater to your taste

Exterminate the good in you that tried to fly away, when you figured out the only human part of you is pain

And then it raised you, sunk its dirty fangs into your drained roots, threw you to the fire when you thought that you were flame proof

So that's the reason why you're sinking alone, and going home without a rescuer and drinking alone

So god help us

So god help us

So god help us

So god help us

Now jump, yeah jump into the fire, just jump

Yeah jump into the fire, just jump, yeah jump into the fire

You're Mommy's little angel, I'm Daddy's little squire

Now Jump, yeah jump into the fire, just jump

Yeah jump into the fire, just jump, yeah jump into the fire

You're Mommy's little angel, I'm Daddy's little squire
