[Verse 1]
Wild thing
See the monkey in the jungle swing
Canary in the cavern sing
That the devil lives in anything
[Pre-Chorus]
C'mon people
You know that I ain't got the wherewithal
When California starts to crawl
Makes a poor man leave his home
[Chorus]
And if I cry for you baby
Your death's head tattoo made me
Pray for the last one standing
Holding a loaded gun
I can see her there under the golden sun
[Verse 2]
Wild thing
See the man up on the gallows swing
See the creature walking through the weeds
In a garden grown from evil seeds
[Pre-Chorus]
C'mon people
You know I can't afford to reconcile
When California starts to crawl
Makes a poor child leave it's home
[Chorus]
And if I cry for you baby
Your death's head tattoo made me
Pray for the last one standing
Holding a loaded gun
I can see her there under the golden sun
[Bridge]
Better the devil you know
Than the one that you don't
Better the devil you know
Than the one that you don't
[Pre-Chorus]
C'mon people
You know that I ain't got the wherewithal
When California starts to crawl
Makes a poor man leave his home
[Chorus]
And if I cry for you baby
Your death's head tattoo made me
Pray for the last one standing
Holding a loaded gun
I can see her there under the golden sun
