I'm a lone wolf
a beauty and a beast
both hunter and hunted
soft tongue and sharp teeth
I'm toned from my travels
yet raw from this road
as I drink from storm puddles
and the stories I'm told
help me figure this out
help me figure you in
you're a shadow to me
that I echo when I sing
help me figure this out
help me figure you in
to the simple little melody
I have seen angels
they were sleeping in gutters
they were standing in bagpipes
they were jumping from towers
they were calling like seagulls
but nobody heard such a beautiful message
from such a common bird
we want freedom for ourselves
we can give it to each other
we want peace between nations
yet we bout with our lovers
we're blinded by billboard and trying to get ahead
choking on ambition and the words left unsaid
all the words left unsaid
we've a simple little melody
I'm a lone wolf
a beauty and a beast
both hunter and hunted
soft tongue and sharp teeth
I'm toned from my travels
yet raw from this road
as I drink from storm puddles
and the stories I'm told
help me figure this out (help me out)
help me figure you in (let me in)
you're a shadow to me (you are me)
that I echo when I sing (when you sing)
help me figure this out (help me out)
help me figure you in (let me in)
ohh
