Something Wild lyrics

(John Hiatt)

Sometims I don`t even move a muscle
Baby while you lie awake all night
I think I`ve got 9 lives in these corpuscles
Girl, you know sometimes I don`t think right

I hear voices in the hall
I wake up and it`s nothing at all
A hungry wolf-an angry child
Or something wild
Something wild
Something wild
Something wild

It`s not as if we could think that things
Was one way
Or they would all just be that way right now
When I was a kid I thought that some day
I could tame this lion heart some
Way, some how

Now I`m hungry for the love
That doesn`t know what it`s thinking of
Searching for the meek and mild
Like something wild
Something wild
Something wild
Something wild

There`s a hole where the wind blows through
And some curtains too
But I can`t hide a thing from you-
You know where I`m comin` from
Well I tried gettin` there under my own steam
But my very last chance was shot
Now you`re ridin` me down like a submarine
I can feel you in my veins, runnin` hot
I went out and stole a new pair of shoes
Some pocket money and a place to go
Now we gotta get up and scream at the
Top of our lungs like it was gonna die
If we didn`t make it so
I hear voices in the hall
I wake up and it`s nothing at all
A hungry wolf-an angry child
Something wild
