Come on and listen to my tale |
|
It's a strange and sorry tale |
|
That's gonna rock you |
|
About a man, the drifting kind |
|
Let the story now unwind |
|
It's gonna shock you |
|
Some people said he was a ghost |
|
Wouldn't wanna be his host |
|
Or just to meet him |
|
And if he ever came their way |
|
They'd be sticks and stones, |
|
I'd say That would grieve him |
|
He was a Steppenwolf, a lost and lonely one |
|
He was a Steppenwolf, forever on the run |
|
He was a Steppenwolf, with a forgotten past |
|
He was a Steppenwolf, who found a love at last |
|
He was a Steppenwolf |
|
The girl he met was out-of-sight |
|
Though she walked the streets at night |
|
He didn't mind it |
|
She seemed as happy as a song |
|
And if anything was wrong |
|
He didn't find it |
|
They used to laugh and dance and drink |
|
And not ever did he think of a payday |
|
No matter where they ever were |
|
Every day he spent with her was a hey-day |
|
He was a Steppenwolf, and not a handsome man |
|
He was a Steppenwolf, who didn't know her plan |
|
He was a Steppenwolf, not very bright at all |
|
He was a Steppenwolf, just riding for a fall |
|
He was a Steppenwolf |
|
One day she said "It's time you knew That I started up with you For just one reason You're gonna do just what I want 'cause there's something that I want And I ain't teasing My life is empty all around Nothing that I ever found Would fulfill me So for a while I'll be with you When I say that we're through You must kill me!" |
|
He was a Steppenwolf, |
|
He cried "It isn't fair" |
|
He was a Steppenwolf, "You know how much I care" |
|
He was a Steppenwolf, |
|
She said "This is the deal" |
|
He was a Steppenwolf, |
|
He saw this was for real |
|
He was a Steppenwolf |
|
He was a Steppenwolf, they spent a long last night |
|
He was a Steppenwolf, and with a smile she died |
|
He was a Steppenwolf, a lost and lonely one |
|
He was a Steppenwolf, forever on the run |
|
He was a Steppenwolf |
