Wild Things
pretty young thing
all alone
wishin' she was king
she sits by herself
dreams on the shelf
raises her hand
too much
Goody goody
that's what they called her
Pris
that's what they called her
Princess
that's what they called her
White girl
that's what they called her
looks too young
too innocent
says no
to drugs
to boys
to drinks
to herself
everyone sees her
as innocent
but inside
she has dreams of being wild
the craving and tingling
that she tries to turn off
but she doesn't have any turn offs
she wishes
she could dance
and grind
intwined with lights
with the cool kids
on top of the world
her life is
an experiment
she lives
and dies
inside a myth
all fenced in
her suburban bubble
with a secret dream
of going nowhere
free of care
living full time
in a cheap motel
figuring it out on her won
disowned
where her only friens
is a bottle of tequila
only the good
die young
right?
her life
is a wannabe cycle
she wants a night thrill
go for the kill
be interesting
be complex
be toxic
drink tonic
be nocturnal
be a bad kid
be the one your parents
warned you about
be illegal
be drunk
the one who sunk
the one who
used to be innocent
be free
be crazy
be insane
be wild
I know where
the wild things are
