(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
