Teenage Wildlife - Live at the Starplex Amphitheater, Dallas, 13th October, 1995

Well, how come you only want tomorrow?

With its promise of something hard to do

A real life adventure

Worth more than pieces of gold

Babe, blue skies above

Sun on your arms, strength in your stride

And hope in your squeaky clean eyes (in your squeaky clean eyes)

You'll get chilly receptions everywhere you go (everywhere you go)

Blinded with desire, I guess the season is on

So you train by shadow boxing

Search for the truth

But it's all, but it's all used up

Break open your million dollar weapon

And push your luck, still you push

Still you push your luck

A broken nosed mogul are you

One of the new wave boys

The same old thing, brand new drag

Comes sweeping into view, oh-ooh

As ugly as a teenage millionaire

Pretending it's a whizz kid world

You'll take me aside, and just say

"Hey David, what shall I do?

They wait for me in the hallways", I'll say

"Don't ask me, I don't know any hallways

But they, they move in numbers

And they've got me in a corner

I feel like a group of one, no-no

They can't do this to me

I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife

(I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife)

I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife

(I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife)

Those midwives to history

Put on their bloody robes

And the word is that the hunted one

Is out there on his own

And you're alone for maybe the last time

And you breathe for a long time

Then you howl like a wolf in a trap

And you dare not look behind

You fall to the ground like a leaf from the tree

And look up one time at that vast blue sky

And scream out aloud as they shoot you down

Oh, no, no, no, I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife

(I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife)

No no, no no, I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife

(I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife) Not me

(I'm not a piece of teenage wildlife)

Ohh yeah!

Ohh yeah!

Oho, oho, oho

And no one will have seen

And no one will confess

The fingerprints will prove

That you coudn't pass the test

There'll be others on the line filing past

Who'll whisper low

I miss him but he had to go

Well each to his own

He was another piece of teenage wildlife

(Another piece of teenage wildlife)

Another piece of teenage wildlife

(Another piece of teenage wildlife)

Another piece of teenage wildlife

(Another piece of teenage wildlife)

Another piece of teenage wildlife

(Another piece of teenage wildlife) Oh yeah, oh yeah

Another piece of teenage wildlife

Thank you, God bless

Goodnight
