Verse 1 (Jimmy Skoog):
Papa was a rolling stone //
'cause his fears would keep him awake and chase him coast to coast //

all the while my mama just smiled and taught us to hold our own //
but late at night I could hear her crying, she was so alone //


she was so alone and I did not know anything but this //
wasn't even pissed when he finally returned //
we all had dinner then we went into our rooms //

and they set our whole world on fire, let it burn //

thought we never heard, yeah - we heard //

all the mean words, how it got worse //
bullied at school but I never said a word //
I always wanted them to solve their %#@! first //


didn't really have no choice so I just swallowed my disappointment //
hollow and distant from the rest, just following distant voices //

too restless to enjoy it, running for the hills trying to fill that void //
and the truth is I don't really care 'cause I'd do anything just to kill that noise //


of the two of them fighting, staying in my room just writing //
saying to myself when I grow up I don't want to be like them //
the world's so big and frightening's //

what they want you to believe, but in order to be me I've got to leave before the night ends... //

Chorus (Peter Krafft):

I keep chasing that sunrise //
to get away just for one night //
far, where the wild things are //


I'm not afraid of the dark, no fear at all //
I'm not even scared we're worlds apart //

I know you will find me where the wild things are... //

Verse 2 (Jimmy Skoog):

Woke up from a dream, felt the wind of change blowing //
eyes wide open as my pond turned to an ocean //
I set sail for greatness, wouldn't slow down for no one //

though they tried to hold me down, I never stopped just kept going //

yeah, I just kept going, so devoted to the thought of becoming so much more //

than the man I was so I just kept pushing for those golden shores //
like I always knew that I would meet somebody that would climb aboard //
that would have my heart and show me through the storm to the place where the lions roar //


someone who will only love the things worth fighting for //
someone who will only live for the things worth dying for //

and that girl will have my kids //
and I'll treat 'em all like royalty, every night I'll tell 'em this // (I-I'll tell 'em...)


Bridge (in Swedish - translation at the bottom):
Jag står här vid er sida, lovar att stanna kvar //
jag älskar er mer än livet och ger er vart andetag jag tar //

så tvivla ej, mina kära, det är ingen fara //
för om jag nånsin faller så ses vi i Nangijala... //


Chorus (Peter Krafft).
