He Was A Steppenwolf (Original Album Version)

Come on and listen to my tale
Its a strange and sorry tale
Thats gonna rock you
About a man, the drifting kind
Let the story now unwind
Its gonna shock you
Some people said he was a ghost
Wouldnt wanna be his host
Or just to meet him
And if he ever came their way
Theyd be sticks and stones,
Id say That would grieve him
He was a Steppenwolf, a lost and lonely one
He was a Steppenwolf, forever on the run
He was a Steppenwolf, with a forgotten past
He was a Steppenwolf, who found a love at last
He was a Steppenwolf
The girl he met was out-of-sight
Though she walked the streets at night
He didnt mind it
She seemed as happy as a song
And if anything was wrong
He didnt find it
They used to laugh and dance and drink
And not ever did he think of a payday
No matter where they ever were
Every day he spent with her was a hey-day
He was a Steppenwolf, and not a handsome man
He was a Steppenwolf, who didnt know her plan
He was a Steppenwolf, not very bright at all
He was a Steppenwolf, just riding for a fall
He was a Steppenwolf
One day she said 'Its time you knew That I started up with you For just one reason Youre gonna do just what I want cause theres something that I want And I aint teasing My life is empty all around Nothing that I ever found Would fulfill me So for a while Ill be with you When I say that were through You must kill me!'
He was a Steppenwolf ,
He cried 'It isnt fair'
He was a Steppenwolf, 'You know how much I care'
He was a Steppenwolf,
She said 'This is the deal'
He was a Steppenwolf,
He saw this was for real
He was a Steppenwolf
He was a Steppenwolf, they spent a long last night
He was a Steppenwolf, and with a smile she died
He was a Steppenwolf, a lost and lonely one
He was a Steppenwolf, forever on the run
He was a Steppenwolf
