Wild Side
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.
Kneel down ye sinners
To streetwise religion
Greed's been crowned the new king
Hollywood dream teens
Yesterday's trash queens
Save the blessings for the final ring
Amen
Take a ride on the wild side
Wild side
I carry my crucifix
Under my deathlist
Forward my mail to me in hell
Liars and the martyrs
Lost faith in the father
Long lost in the wishing well, uh
Take a ride on the wild side
Wild side
Fallen angels so fast to kill
Thy kingdom come on the wild side
Our father, who ain't in heaven
Be thy name on the wild side
Holy mary
Mother may I pray for us on the wild side?
Wild side, wild side
Name dropping no-names
Glamorize cocaine
Puppets with strings of gold
East la at midnight
Papa won't be home tonight
Found dead with his best friend's wife
Take a ride on the wild side
Wild side
Take a ride on the wild side
Wild side
Gang fights, fatal strikes
We lie on the wild side
No escape, murder rape
Doing time on the wild side
A baby cries, a cop dies
A day's pay on the wild side
Wild side, wild side
Tragic life on the wild side
Wild side, wild side
Kickin' ass on the wild side
No going back on the wild side
