A flag-draped coffin Makes his way through the city streets Shaking hands with The strangers that it meets An old man ragged Lost his colors and his flag Trust the passing wind And the calls remember his name
But I thought you knew That nothing would change Well, the rains, they still fall though When you’re not around
And the sirens call Cold as the howl from your lung We were born wild We will die wild thing
Eyes once a best buy On the cover of the times Becomes the face, becomes the mess Becomes the face In a house of windows Now a room of mirrors When the sun sets And the night comes down
But I thought you knew That nothing would change Well, the rains, they still fall though When you’re not around
And the sirens call Cold as the howl from your lung We were born wild We will die wild thing
And all it took Was a stone well-thrown You’re all more than chained To make you human once again But I thought you knew That nothing would change Well, the rains, they still fall, kid When you’re not around
And the sirens call Cold as the howl from your lung We were born wild We will die wild thing
A flag-draped coffin Makes his way through the city streets Another number In the cost of being free
