You say you've never seen the light before
Does anyone believe you
Don't let them hear you say anymore

Nothing's really safe around here

We are an imitation of the crown

We never turn the pages
They cannot let your spirit touch the ground
And nothing's gonna change around here, no


Crack in the ceiling
Hole in the wall

They bend you over
But you won't crawl away


You've got two in the bushes
One in the hand
They'd make you over

But they can't understand you
You're always gonna be the wild one


Pretend that all you really feel is pain
Just hide behind some sorrow
How sad

But you'd do it all again
(I guess that) Nobody changes 'round here


Cat in the cradle
Man in the moon
They'd make you over

But it's too soon to know, no

Smoke in the kitchen

Fire in the hall
The train is coming
And you can hear it calling

You're always gonna be the wild one

Crack in the ceiling

Hole in the wall
They bend you over
But you won't crawl away


You've got two in the bushes
One in the hand

They'd make you over
But they can't understand you
You're always gonna be the Wild One
