Teenage Wildlife

Deadsy


Well, how come you only want tomorrow
With its promise of something hard to do 
A real life adventure worth more than pieces of gold 
Blue skies above and sun on your arms strength in your stride 
And hope in those squeaky clean eyes 
You'll get chilly receptions everywhere you go 
Blinded with desire - i guess the season is on 

So you train by shadow boxing, search for the truth 
But it's all, but it's all used up 
Break open your million dollar weapon 
And push your luck, still you push, still you push your luck 
A broken nosed mogul are you 
One of the new wave boys 

Same old thing in brand new drag 
Comes sweeping into view, oh-ooh 
As ugly as a teenage millionaire 
Pretending it's a whizz kid world 
You'll take me aside, and say 
"Well, Elijah , what shall I do? --- They wait for me in
the hallway" 
I'll say "Don't ask me, I don't know any hallways" 
But they move in numbers and they've got me in a corner 
I feel like a group of one, no-no 
They can't do this to me 
I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife 

Those midwives to history put on their bloody robes 
The word is that the hunted one is out there on his own 
You're alone for maybe the last time 
And you breathe for a long time
Then you howl like a wolf in a trap 
And you daren't look behind 

You fall to the ground like a leaf from the tree 
And look up one time at that vast blue sky 
Scream out aloud as they shoot you down 
No no, I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife 
I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife 

And no one will have seen and no one will confess
The fingerprints will prove that you coudn't pass the test 
There'll be others on the line filing past, who'll whisper low 
I miss you he really had to go 
Well each to his own, he was .......
Another piece of teenage wildlife, oh-oh-oh-ohh 
Another piece of teenage wildlife, oh-oh-oh-ohh 
Another piece of teenage wild...
