Wild & Green

One more early night in
An itch beneath the skin
The scratch stands in between
What's known and what's unseen
Appetite's increasing
Hunger won't see reason
This desert life won't do
Time to find another who

Sometimes I leave on the lights
And wander out into midnight
I've been warm and safe inside
I wander out into midnight
Feel my way through the trees
Into the den of the beast
We can't taste love when it's old
No, we go where it grows wild and green

I left someone behind
She's always on my mind
Old pictures fade to red
Won't stay put 'til I lay dead
Pallid to the tongue
A flavor needs its bite
Like back when I was young
And wouldn't settle for nice

Sometimes I leave on the lights
And wander out into midnight
I've been warm and safe inside
I wander out into midnight
Feel my way through the trees
Into the den of the beast
We can't taste love when it's old
No, we go where it grows wild and green
