Wild Thing

Noah And The Whale - Wild Thing
Time can make more rubble out of dreams than anything

In a quiet neighborhood
where she's living 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

Nine days out alone
Sleep in the dirt

She walks back into town

With blood stains 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
Well I used to be a citizen in this town
'Til my teeth turned gray and my hair fell out
All the civil decent people'
they don't want to know
But a girl looking for trouble said she'd give me a go
While everybody's sleeping in this town this night
From the crooked clock tower to the borderline
And night star static in the winter breeze
She's lying 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
End
