Wild God (Live God)

Wild God

Once upon a time, a wild God zoomed
All through his memory in which he was entombed
It was rape and pillage in the retirement village
And in his mind he was a man of great virtue and courage

Flew out the window with his long, trailing hair
And the smoke from the bodies went straight up in the air
He was a wild God searching for what all wild gods are searching for
Flew through the dying city like a prehistoric bird

Went searching for the girl down on Jubilee Street
Who died in a bedsit in 1993
He flew to the top of the world and looked around, said, "Where are my people?
Where are my people to bring your spirit down?" (sing it)

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) ooh, you little
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) bring your spirit down
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh) oh, well

A wild God searching for a faraway girl
Who was basically a mirage, but nevertheless loomed large
She'd hang under the rail as he blew 'round the room
And make love with a kind of efficient gloom

The people on the ground cried, "When does it start?"
And the wild God says, "It starts with the heart, with the heart, with the heart, with the heart"
The people on the ground cried, "When does it end?"
And the wild God says, "It depends, but it mostly never ends
'Cause I'm a wild God flying and a wild God swimming
And I'm an old, sick God dying and crying and singing"

Bring your spirit down
Oh, we're wild gods, baby, we're wild gods
Bring your spirit down
He's moving through the flames of anarchy
Moving through the winds of tyranny
And the sweet, sweet tears of liberty
Yeah, moving 'round the world

He's moving through your body like a prehistoric bird
He's moving 'round the world
If you're feeling lonely and if you're feeling blue
And if you just don't know what to do
Bring your spirit down

Oh, we're wild gods, baby, we're wild gods
Bring your spirit down
We're going to the cradle of Africa
We're going to Russia, we're going to China
To the United States of America
Moving 'round the world
Moving like a great, big, beautiful bird
Moving 'round the world

Here we go, here we go
Here we go, here we go
Here we go, here we go
Bring your spirit down

Yeah, we're wild gods, baby, we're wild gods
Yeah, bring your spirit down, here we go
If you're feeling lonely sister, if you're feeling blue
If you just don't know what to do
Bring your spirit down

Oh, we're wild gods, baby, we're wild gods
Bring your spirit down, alright, here we go
Here we go, here we go
Here we go, here we go
Here we go, here we go
Bring your spirit down

Thank you
