Teenage Wildlife (Live at the Starplex Amphitheater, Dallas, 13th October, 1995)

Well, how come you only want tomorrow?
With its promise of something hard to do
A real life adventure
Worth more than pieces of gold
Babe, blue skies above
Sun on your arms, strength in your stride
And hope in your squeaky clean eyes (in your squeaky clean eyes)
You'll get chilly receptions everywhere you go (everywhere you go)
Blinded with desire, I guess the season is on

So you train by shadow boxing
Search for the truth
But it's all, but it's all used up
Break open your million dollar weapon
And push your luck, still you push
Still you push your luck
A broken nosed mogul are you
One of the new wave boys

The same old thing, brand new drag
Comes sweeping into view, oh-ooh
As ugly as a teenage millionaire
Pretending it's a whizz kid world
You'll take me aside, and just say
"Hey David, what shall I do?
They wait for me in the hallways", I'll say
"Don't ask me, I don't know any hallways
But they, they move in numbers
And they've got me in a corner
I feel like a group of one, no-no
They can't do this to me
I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife

(I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife)
I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife
(I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife)

Those midwives to history
Put on their bloody robes
And the word is that the hunted one
Is out there on his own

And you're alone for maybe the last time
And you breathe for a long time
Then you howl like a wolf in a trap
And you dare not look behind

You fall to the ground like a leaf from the tree
And look up one time at that vast blue sky
And scream out aloud as they shoot you down
Oh, no, no, no, I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife

(I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife)
No no, no no, I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife
(I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife) Not me
(I'm not a piece of teenage wildlife)

Ohh yeah!

Ohh yeah!

Oho, oho, oho

And no one will have seen
And no one will confess
The fingerprints will prove
That you coudn't pass the test
There'll be others on the line filing past
Who'll whisper low
I miss him but he had to go
Well each to his own
He was another piece of teenage wildlife

(Another piece of teenage wildlife)
Another piece of teenage wildlife
(Another piece of teenage wildlife)
Another piece of teenage wildlife
(Another piece of teenage wildlife)
Another piece of teenage wildlife
(Another piece of teenage wildlife) Oh yeah, oh yeah
Another piece of teenage wildlife

Thank you, God bless
Goodnight
