Wild Side Songtext
von Alex Williams

Kneel down, you sinners, to streetwise religion
Greed′s been crowned the new king
Hollywood dream teams, yesterday's trash queens
Save the blessing for the final ring

Take a ride on the wild side
Mm, wild side

Well, I carry my crucifix under my death list
Forward my mail to me in Hell
Liars and the martyrs lost faith in the Father
Long lost is a wishin′ well

Take a ride on the wild side
Mm, wild side


Fallen angels, so fast to kill
Thy kingdom come on the wild side
Our father, who ain't in Heaven
Be thy name on the wild side
Holy Mary, Mother, may I
Pray for us on the wild side?
Wild side, wild side

Name-droppin' no-names, glamorizin′ cocaine
Puppets with strings of gold
East L.A. at midnight, Papa won′t be home tonight
Found dead with his best friend's wife

Take a ride on the wild side
Mm, wild side

Gang fights, fatal strikes
We lie on the wild side
No escape, murder rate
We′re doin' time on the wild side
A baby cries, a cop dies
A day′s pay on the wild side
Wild side, wild side

A day's pay on the wild side
