Jacques Merlino - Tale of a Wildman Lyrics

Lets go away he said
With a smile on his face
I'll take you there instead
Of this ol' familiar place

He said come on let's be free
Let's get rid of all the pain
But you said that liberty
Was just dancing in your chains

But you knew how he'd be
Always fond of a nice story
His wild eyes are traveling
But his body's busy staying

I need to get away he said
His smile was now gone
'Cuz inside he feels dead
'Cuz inside he feels wrong

You realise what he's become
A man who melts in the sun
So when he sees you leave
Is when he ceases to believe

But you knew how it'd end
Your cheeks raw from the bitter wind
His wild eyes are traveling
And his body's busy laying

He'll search for you in everyone
And hate what he finds
Soon enough he'll get a gun
And clear the thoughts from his mind

But you knew how he'd be
Always fond of a nice story
His wild eyes were traveling
But his body's busy staying

But you knew how it'd end
Your cheeks raw from the bitter wind
His wild eyes never got their fill
And his body's frozen still
