only the wild ones

long hair and longer stride

skateboard affair with the primal tribe

and your cut off painter pants

charging down the craggy mountains

with our thrift store friends

who you find so. so in love with the falling earth

oh

you wake in the middle of the falling night with the summer playing coy

in the attics of the city night

we talked corso and the mc5

and you could dance like

we were all alright

only the wild ones give you something and never want it back

oh

the riot and the rush of the warm night air

only the wild ones are the ones you can never catch

stars are up now no place to go. but everywhere

one i met in the green mountain state

i dropped out

and he moved away

heard he got some land down south

changed his name to a name the birds could pronounce

and only the wild ones give you something and never want it back

oh

the riot and the rush of the warm night air

only the wild ones are the ones you can never catch

stars are up now no place to go but everywhere

no place to go but everywhere

in the city the mayor said

those who dance are all misled

so you packed your things and moved to the other coast

said you gonna be like charlie rose

and only the wild ones give you something and never want it back

oh

the riot and rush of the warm night air

only the wild ones are the ones you can never catch

stars are up now no place to go. but everywhere

only the wild ones give you something and never want it back

oh

the riot and rush of the warm night air

only the wild ones are the ones you can never catch

stars are up now no place to go. but anywhere
