Where the Wild Resides Lyrics

I was walking after dark under that Sauron-like eye

Constructed by this big town's Puritan mind

When I saw a little crack in the black of the sky

And thought I was a good idea to stick my hands inside

But I didn't stop there I put my hole body through

Looked at the doorman and he said how to you do?

I said I'm doing fine, now that I see

The scene playing out in front of me

Where people were unabashedly sweating

Cheek-to-cheek dancing

I want to go to where the wild resides

I woke-up the next day and sure as sin

Polite society found their own way in

There were pictures of me, full of glee

Hitting the floor like I hadn't before

So, I stuck my hand out for a knuckle-rapping

But they wanted more than that

They wanted a kilogram and a half of flesh

And for me to renounce all the joy I had found

And to never go back to

Where people were unabashedly sweating

Cheek-to-cheek dancing

I want to do to where the wild resides again

They said, you're too old man

But I was a wallflower when young

So, I promise I won't go back to

Where the wild resides, again

They thought I was old way back when

Look at me know I'm bedridden

Full of regret, afraid of death

So gather around children and listen

And listen

Don't be like me: afraid of the world

Afraid to get knocked off your hierarchal perch

And maybe you'll find a place that will abide

A little bit of your wild side

Where people are unabashedly sweating

Cheek-to-cheek dancing

I want to go to where the wild resides again

Where people are unabashedly sweating

Cheek-to-cheek dancing

I want to go to where the wild resides again
