Only the Wild Ones

Long hair and longer stride

Skateboard affair with a primal tribe

And you cut off painter pants

Charging down the craggy mountains

With our thrift store friends

Who you find so, so in love with the falling Earth

Oh you wake in the middle of the falling night with summer playing coy

In the attics of the city night

We talked corso and the MC5

And you could dance like

We were all, all right

Only the wild ones

Give you something and never want it back

Oh the riot and the rush

Of the warm night air

Only the wild ones

Are the ones you can never catch

Stars are up now, no place to go

But everywhere

One I met in the green mountain state

I dropped out, and he moved away

Heard he got some land down south

Changed his name to a name the birds could pronounce

And only the wild ones

Give you something and never want it back

Oh the riot and the rush of the warm night air

Only the wild ones

Are the ones you can never catch

Stars are up now no place to go but everywhere

No place to go but everywhere

And in the city the Mayor said

Those who dance are all mislead

So you pack your things and move to the other coast

Said you gonna be like Charlie Rose

And only the wild ones

Give you something and never want it back

Oh the riot and rush of the warm night air

Only the wild ones

Are the ones you can never catch

Stars are up now, no place to go

But everywhere

Only the wild ones

Give you something and never want it back

Oh the riot and rush of the warm night air

Only the wild ones

Are the ones you can never catch

Stars are up now, no place to go

But everywhere
