Wild Thing Lyrics


You should seen it before you jumped on in, and realized
That if you look before you leap then you decide to sink or swim
But you dove into that social pool, powdering your nose huh,
And going home with people that you hardly even know
And you're a ghost
Now look at you, you hardly even speak,
Haven't woken up to the thought of getting clean in fuckin' weeks
And if you did, I guarantee you'd never leave the sheets,
Home alone until that fix comes, put you on your feet
And some blame it on the city, some blame it on the streets,
Some bury it inside beneath that dream of being free
But I can see it in your eyes, that you're aware of what it needs,
How you feel like it's the only thing in love that doesn't leave
And it's a shame, cause I remember life without the games,
And the bittersweet acknowledgement of how it's gonna change
But the rain can't wash you if you're laying in the dirt,
And the pain can't change you if you blame it on the hurt
So God help us

So God help us
So God help us
So God help us
I mean look at you, Mr. I-don't-even-have-a-clue
Mr. get it right the first time or shut it down from you
Cause you're the boss, and Daddy taught you how to be a mine
Via stepping out on Mommy and releasing with your hands
And now it hurts, cause you can't even question what is right,
Life is nothing but a challenge and you want to win the fight
So go ahead, try and make that old man proud,
And beat that last remaining angel off your shoulder to the ground
And then escape, slap the world steady in it's face and make moves on em,
Force em all to cater to your taste
Exterminate the good in you that tried to fly away,
When you figured out the only human part of you is pain
And then it raised you, sunk it's dirty fangs into your drained roots,
Threw you to the fire when you thought that you were flame proof
So that's the reason why you're sinking alone,
And going home without a rescuer and drinking alone
So God help us
So God help us
So God help us
So God help us
Now jump, yeah jump into the fire, just jump
Yeah jump into the fire, just jump, yeah jump into the fire
You're mommy's little angel, I'm daddy's little squire
Now jump, yeah jump into the fire, just jump
Yeah jump into the fire, just jump, yeah jump into the fire
You're mommy's little angel, I'm daddy's little squire

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Having spent nearly two years on the road touring in support of 88 Keys and Counting, Grieves found himself returning home to a fractured reality. Reeling from turbulence in his career and heartbreak in his personal life mixed with coming down from the high of the support he received on the road Grieves conceptualized Together/Apart, an album that would address the bond music creates between each of us as individuals and as a whole despite the many distances we experience be they geographical or emotional.

The end of 2008 saw Grieves enlisting the help of friend and collaborator Budo to co-produce Together/Apart bringing his signature swiss-army knife, multi-instrumental backdrop to Grieves' hauntingly poignant narrative. The album began taking shape in New York as the two built off the success 88 Keys and Counting had generated and paired it with the intensity they developed from their live performances. The recording process began to shadow the theme of the album as it saw tracks recorded in Colorado and Washington in addition to New York, infusing it with a mixture of regional influences while still maintaining a cohesive sound. As the album neared completion the title took on a double meaning for Grieves as he explored new subject matter in the absence of trust, refuge in addiction, acceptance and honesty in self-reflection, and trying to find his place in the world without forgetting his roots.
