the wild and defiled, along the way

Perhaps even more than the unexpectedly exuberant, club rock performance of him with the Gods of Love on the CD "Nemicorn", future generations will try to decode exactly what these lyrics are about. Who cares? It's fun!

the wild and defiled, along the way

I'll light the sky -
to show you why -
the stars are not my choosing.
retread my head -
get back in bed -
and cull a vict'ry from the losing.

you know, I know
when it should go
I don't need another creature feature teacher.
just bring your heart
just play your part
we'll figure out the details in the future.

ain't got no plan -
not who I am -
and not who I'd want to be anyway.
adjust, adapt,
to ev'ry slap
from the wild and defiled, along the way.

I want to believe
that you won't leave
and in something more electric than the thunder.
the heat, the beat,
of hearts complete.
something to get on or in or under.

if you've got the will
I've got the way, still,
you may want to check all your options.
if you walk on in
and let this begin
don't blame me for the repercussions.

ain't got no plan -
not who I am -
and not who I'd want to be anyway.
adjust, adapt,
to ev'ry slap
from the wild and defiled, along the way.
