I am a lone wolf
|
a beauty and a beast
|
both hunter and hunted
|
soft tongue and sharp teeth
|
I'm toned from my travels
|
yet raw from this road
|
as I drink from storm puddles
|
and the stories I'm told
|
|
Help me figure this out (let me out)
|
Help me figure you in (let me in)
|
you're a shadow to me (you are me)
|
that I echo when I sing (when you sing)
|
Help me figure this out (let me out)
|
help me figure you in (let me in)
|
To this simple little melody
|
|
I have seen angels
|
they were sleeping in gutters
|
they were standing in bank lines
|
they were jumping from towers
|
they were calling like seagulls
|
but nobody heard
|
such a beautiful message
|
from such a common bird
|
|
We want freedom for ourselves
|
but we can't give it to each other
|
We want peace between nations
|
yet we battle with our lovers
|
we're blinded by billboards
|
and trying to get ahead
|
choking on ambition
|
and the words left unsaid
|
all the words left unsaid
|
|
We've a simple little melody
|
|
I am a lone wolf
|
a beauty and a beast
|
both hunter and hunted
|
soft tongue and sharp teeth
|
I'm toned from my travels
|
yet raw from this road
|
as I drink from storm puddles
|
and the stories I'm told
|
|
Help me figure this out (let me out)
|
help me figure you in (let me in)
|
you're a shadow to me (you are me)
|
that I echo when I sing (when you sing)
|
help me figure this out (let me out)
|
help me figure you in (let me in)
