Lyrics

[00:38.89] How come you only want tomorrow
[00:47.77] With its promise of something hard to do
[00:56.16] A real life adventure worth more than pieces of gold
[01:05.16] Blue skies above and sun on your arms strength in your stride
[01:12.34] And hope in those squeaky clean eyes
[01:17.40] You'll get chilly receptions everywhere you go
[01:22.74] Blinded with desire I guess the season is on
[01:31.96]
[01:48.95] So you train by shadow boxing, search for the truth
[01:55.15] But it's all used up
[01:56.78] You break open your million dollar weapon
[02:01.70] Still you push your luck
[02:06.97] A broken nosed mogul are you
[02:10.92] One of the new wave boys
[02:15.29] Same old thing in brand new drag
[02:20.11] Comes sweeping into view
[02:24.13]
[02:28.88] As ugly as a teenage millionaire
[02:33.22] Pretending it's a whizz kid world
[02:37.42] And you'll take me aside
[02:41.36] And say
[02:42.73] David what shall I do
[02:45.00] They wait for me in the hallway
[02:46.92] And I'll say don't ask me I don't know any hallways
[02:51.49] But they move in numbers and they've got me in a corner
[02:55.91] I feel like a group of one
[02:59.17] They can't do this to me
[03:02.85] I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife
[03:07.39]
[03:20.82] Those midwives to history put on their bloody robes
[03:29.48] The word is that the hunted one is out there on his own
[03:38.56] You're alone for maybe the last time
[03:46.39] And you breathe for a long time
[03:50.93] Then you howl like a wolf in a trap
[03:54.82] And you daren't look behind
[03:57.59] You fall to the ground like a leaf from a tree
[04:01.76] And look up one time at that vast blue sky
[04:05.89] Scream out aloud as they shoot you down
[04:10.38] No, no I'm not a piece of teenage wildlife
[04:29.57]
[05:07.40] And no one will have seen and no one will confess
[05:12.45] Fingerprints will prove that you couldn't pass the test
[05:16.86] And there'll be others on the line filing past
[05:21.05] Who'll whisper low
[05:22.62] I miss you he had to go
[05:25.34] Each to his own
[05:27.94] Just another piece of teenage wildlife
[05:35.11]
