Wild & Green Lyrics

One more early night in

An itch beneath the skin

The scratch stands in between

What's known and what's unseen

Appetite's increasing

Hunger won't see reason

This desert life won't do

Time to find another who

Sometimes I leave on the lights

And wander out into midnight

I've been warm and safe inside

I wander out into midnight

Feel my way through the trees

Into the den of the beast

We can't taste love when it's old

No, we go where it grows wild and green

I left someone behind

She's always on my mind

Old pictures fade to red

Won't stay put 'til I lay dead

Pallid to the tongue

A flavor needs its bite

Like back when I was young

And wouldn't settle for nice

Sometimes I leave on the lights

And wander out into midnight

I've been warm and safe inside

I wander out into midnight

Feel my way through the trees

Into the den of the beast

We can't taste love when it's old

No, we go where it grows wild and green
