The Inside Story

I'm the wolf I'm the wound I'm the storyteller
I'm a dealer in dreams I'm a riding in tears
Had it coming my way at sweet seventeen
Doubting every inch and tripping on fears
It's the heartbreaking story of a man growing old
Watching the swingers getting bald
They move to the city they are living the life
Having a taste of moonlight jive
Selling your heart to the beggars wife

Selling out selling out
I got a perfect lie for you - and you too
Now come closer and step up
It's the inside story and it's true
It maybe worn out but it's a dream come true
And it's true - on a.m. avenue

It's the genius in the attic
G-getting of his rocks
Working on some secret movie
It pleases when it shocks
S-so we lost our hearts some years a go
Spanish words at the picture show
I still don't understand what the hell went wrong
We could have knocked them down with a single song
Too lazy for love 'cause we talked too long

I'm the wolf and I'm tired of playing the game
I just might drop my vision and change my name
I saw them drag each other down and then dress up smart
Why do lovers break each others heart
I was a pain in the ass to some of you
As I got lost in the shadow of the Avenue
We wil look in our mirrors and pull innocent faces
But there's no way back to the familiar places
Time heals wounds but blood leaves traces

Sold out sold out
I 'll do another special dance for you and you too
Now come closer and step up it's the inside story - and it's true
It may be worn out still it's a dream come true
Sold out sold out we'll do another silly dance for you
It's the inside story
