Deadsy Teenage Wildlife Lyrics

Teenage Wildlife Lyrics

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... 

Wild .....Wild .......Wild.........{David Bowie Cover
