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

Nothing's gonna change around here

Crack in the ceiling

hole in the wall

they bend you over

but you won't crawl away

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

(I guess that) Nobody changes 'round here

Cat in the cradle

Man in the moon

They'd make you over

but it's too soon to know

Smoke in the kitchen

fire in the hall

The train is coming

and you can hear it coming

You're always gonna be the wild one

Crack in the ceiling

hole in the wall

they bend you over

but you won't crawl away

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
