lyrics

I was walking after dark under that Sauron-like eye
Constructed by this big town's Puritan mind
When I saw a little crack in the black of the sky
And thought I was a good idea to stick my hands inside
But I didn't stop there I put my hole body through
Looked at the doorman and he said how to you do?
I said I'm doing fine, now that I see
The scene playing out in front of me

Where people were unabashedly sweating
Cheek-to-cheek dancing
I want to go to where the wild resides

I woke-up the next day and sure as sin
Polite society found their own way in
There were pictures of me, full of glee
Hitting the floor like I hadn't before
So, I stuck my hand out for a knuckle-rapping
But they wanted more than that
They wanted a kilogram and a half of flesh
And for me to renounce all the joy I had found
And to never go back to

Where people were unabashedly sweating
Cheek-to-cheek dancing
I want to do to where the wild resides again

They said, you're too old man
But I was a wallflower when young
So, I promise I won't go back to
Where the wild resides, again

They thought I was old way back when
Look at me know I'm bedridden
Full of regret, afraid of death
So gather around children and listen
And listen
Don't be like me: afraid of the world
Afraid to get knocked off your hierarchal perch
And maybe you'll find a place that will abide
A little bit of your wild side

Where people are unabashedly sweating
Cheek-to-cheek dancing
I want to go to where the wild resides again

Where people are unabashedly sweating
Cheek-to-cheek dancing
I want to go to where the wild resides again
