Up The Wolves Songtext

Up The Wolves Songtext
There′s bound to be a ghost at the back of your closet
No matter where you live
There'll always be a few things, maybe several things
That you′re gonna find really difficult to forgive
There's gonna come a day when you'll feel better
You′ll rise up free and easy on that day
And float from branch to branch
Lighter than the air
Just when that day is coming
Who can say?
Who can say?
Our mother has been absent
Ever since we founded Rome
But there′s gonna be a party when the wolf comes home
We're gonna commandeer the local airwaves
To tell the neighbours what′s been going on
And they'll shake their heads
And wag their bony fingers
In all the wrong directions
And by daybreak we′ll be gone
I'm gonna get myself in fighting trim
Scope out every angle of unfair advantage
I′m gonna bribe the officials
I'm gonna kill the judges
It's gonna take you people years to recover from all of the damage
Our mother has been absent
Ever since we founded Rome
But there′s gonna be a party when the wolf comes home
Do, do do do do do do do do
Do, do do do do do do
No matter where you live
There'll always be a few things, maybe several things
That you′re gonna find really difficult to forgive
There's gonna come a day when you'll feel better
You′ll rise up free and easy on that day
And float from branch to branch
Lighter than the air
Just when that day is coming
Who can say?
Who can say?
Our mother has been absent
Ever since we founded Rome
But there′s gonna be a party when the wolf comes home
We're gonna commandeer the local airwaves
To tell the neighbours what′s been going on
And they'll shake their heads
And wag their bony fingers
In all the wrong directions
And by daybreak we′ll be gone
I'm gonna get myself in fighting trim
Scope out every angle of unfair advantage
I′m gonna bribe the officials
I'm gonna kill the judges
It's gonna take you people years to recover from all of the damage
Our mother has been absent
Ever since we founded Rome
But there′s gonna be a party when the wolf comes home
Do, do do do do do do do do
Do, do do do do do do
