Wild One

You say you've never seen the light before

Does anyone believe you?

Don't let them hear you say it anymore

Nothing's really safe around here

We are an imitation of the crown

We never turn the pages

They cannot let your spirit touch the ground

And nothing's gonna change around here, no

Crack in the ceiling, hole in the wall

They bend you over but you won't crawl away, hey

You've got two in the bushes, one in the hand

They'd make you over but they can't understand you

You're always gonna be the wild one

Pretend that all you really feel is pain

Just hide behind some sorrow

How sad but you'd do it all again, nobody changes 'round here

Cat in the cradle, man in the moon

They'd make you over but it's too soon to know

I smell smoke in the kitchen, fire in the hall

The train is comin' and you can hear it callin'

You're always gonna be the wild one

Wild, wild one

Crack in the ceiling, hole in the wall

They bent you over now you won't crawl away, hey

You've got two in the bushes, one in the hand

They'd make you over but they try and understand you

You're always gonna be the wild one

Wild, wild, wild, wild one
