Oingo Boingo - Pedestrian Wolves Lyrics
Raised by pedestrian wolves, out in the forestRaised by pedestrian wolves, out in the forestI was left to fend for myselfI was left in a basket, just like baby mosesTo float down that muddy riverProtected by the stupid little fairiesI floated for nine days and nightsI floated for nine days and nightstill I came to the cityBright lights and all the fine ladiesCome on out all you bright fine ladiesI like you just like you are,And I love you, kind of,Just like you are, and I love youLike a sticky piece of cotton candyIn this bright red cotton candy, candy world(chorus)Im so excited , about the prospects of meeting with aStranger in an alley, Im so excited. I hope theyre rough, I hope theirSkin is tough like spanish leatherCant wait until their dull, dead eyes meet mineI cant wait until their dull, dead eyes meet mineRaised by pedestrian wolves, out in the forestRaised by suburban lions, out in the jungleWe really like to run in packs- and I like thatWhen we hunt, we all function with one mindOur collective predications are as sharp as theRazor in my pocket, and as dull as the iceMelting slowly in my glassMy only love is the love of oblivion, in a dark roomWith as couple of pedestrian wolvesSo artfully backlit by a solitary candleI take my pleasure in soft red clouds of desireSo funky in this unwashed bed for one with the soft red dreams of oblivion(chorus)Im so excited cause soon Ill hit the streetsI am the crown prince of pavement, Im so excitedUnder the sheltering skinStretched out so pale and thinThere is an ocean of bright red liquid loveAnd that, my friend, is my favorite colorRaised by pedestrian wolves out in the forestAnd I take my pleasure on a soft red cloudAnd I take my pleasure in the monkeys bedAnd the wolves still howl and the light still glowing redAnd I take my pleasure in a blue steel cageAnd I take my pleasure through the monkeys eyeAnd the wolves all howl while the world around me dies(chorus)Im so excited , about the prospects of meeting with a strangerIn an alley, Im so excited. I hope theyre rough, I hope their skin is toughLike spanish leatherRaised by pedestrian wolves out in the forestRaised by pedestrian wolves - out in the forestI was left to fend for myselfI was left in as basket - just like baby mosesTo float down that muddy riverProtected by all those stupid little fairiesI floated for nine days and nights til I came to the cityBright lights and all the fine ladiesCome on out all you bright, fine ladiesI like you just like you are, and I love you, kind of,Just like you are in this bright red cotton candy, candy worldRaised by pedestrian wolves...
