I WANT TO LIVE AGAIN
When you think of the times that were living in
And you think of the minds that have given in
Run like a child
Wild Thing, you gonna break
And you’re not gonna say but you know its true
Someone’s taken the rug out from under you
Too late, don’t wait, holding back a big mistake.
Sixteen candles
We were hard to handle then
You want to live again?
Set an example follow the street signs
You got these people trampled in a straight line
Running out of time
Drinking down the ice-nine
If you were paying attention the time before
You would have ducked the convention
And hit the door
Run like a child
Wild Thing, you want it more?
Sixteen candles
I was hard to handle then
You want to live again?
I need a long distance answer
Might be a lover but I’m not a dancer
Gimme gimme gimme more chance
Now I’m out in the box seat I’m in denial
Time to pull up the white sheet it’s been a while
Listen flower child
Grew up ’stead of growing wild
And when you think of the times that you’re living in
And you think of the minds that have given in
Run like a child
Wild Thing, it’s been a while
Sixteen candles
Set a good example
Vandals to the handles
We were hard to handle then
Want to live again?
(I’m gonna add some baritone,
That’s a bear with a just one eye)
I want to live again….
