About

This song describes simple American life with wild-eyed childlike amazement. It pokes fun at people’s sense of self-importance, but unusually it does so with great emotion instead of Byrne’s typical detached alien personality. Because of this, its message is not one of mockery but of profound admira...

Wild Wild Life Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm wearing fur pajamas
I ride a hot potato
It’s tickling my fancy
Speak up, I can't hear you

[Chorus 1]
Here on this mountain top, oh-oh-oh
I got some wild, wild life
I got some news to tell you, oh-oh
About some wild, wild life
Here come the doctor in charge, oh-oh-oh
She's got some wild, wild life
Ain't that the way you like it, oh-oh?
Living wild, wild life

[Verse 2]
I wrestle with your conscience
You wrestle with your partner
Sitting on a windowsill
But he spends his time behind closed doors

[Chorus 2]
So check out mister businessman, oh-oh-oh
He bought some wild, wild life
On the way to the stock exchange, oh-oh-oh
He got some wild, wild life
Break it up when he opens the door, oh-oh-oh
He doing wild, wild life
I know it's the way you like it, oh-oh
Living wild, wild

[Bridge 1]
Peace of mind?
It's a piece of cake
Thought control
You get on board any time you like

[Bridge 2]
Like sitting on pins and needles
Things fall apart
It's scientific

[Chorus 3]
Sleeping on the Interstate, oh-oh-oh
Getting wild, wild life
Checking in and checking out, oh-oh-oh
I got 'em, wild, wild life
Spending all of my money and time, oh-oh-oh
On too much wild, wild life
We wanna go, and we go where we go, oh-oh-oh
Ah, doing wild, wild life
I know it, that's how we start, oh-oh-oh
Got some wild, wild life
Take a picture here in the daylight, oh-oh
And it's a wild, wild life
You've grown so tall, you've grown so fast, oh-oh-oh
Wild, wild
And I know that's the way you like it, oh-oh
Living wild, wild, wild, wild life
