Young Savage

The Jekyll-Hyde of you

I can't survive the tide of you

The vicious style of love, the whining

Pits and pendulums of lying

I don't see how you survive in

Hard-line worlds you're advertising

Sneaky features, pacing, waiting

City sex is so frustrating

Young savage

Young savage

Thinks like a steel wall

Stinks like a dance hall

Young savage

Young savage

Anything goes where no-one knows your name

The mirror love of vixens

Guess who'll wear the mask of victim

Money rents you insulation

Tenderness asphyxiates you

Someone else's flesh to borrow

Sling it from your bed tomorrow

Live too fast for love or sorrow

Look behind the face it's hollow

Thinks like a steel wall

Stinks like a dance hall

Young savage

Young savage

Anything goes where no-one knows your name

The broken heart of you

Who stole the stolen parts of you

Changing blossoms into fists

And taking bites from every kiss

The past is dead, tomorrow's too far

All the chemicals the bars

Coloured hair and cheap tattoos

impale you on their points of view

Young savage

Young savage

Thinks like a steel wall

Stinks like a dance hall

Young savage

Young savage

Anything goes where no-one knows your name

Condemned to be a stranger

Subway dweller, dead-end agel

kicking through the dust of friends

Who never gave, they'd only lend

Every sneer is thrown away

With practised gestures of disdain

The outlaw stance is so pedantic

Hate the world, it's so romantic

Thinks like a steel wall

Stinks like a dance hall

Anything goes where no-one knows your name
