You’re the one who ran in the wild ‘cause You’re the one the wild called And you’re the one who followed the child To save the sun from how it falls You’re the one who had knives Set aside for the throats of hunters But they tricked you with a trinket and a name
’m the one who sat at your capture ’m the one who whispered low That’s the one who followed the child to save the son And look—it’s starting to snow!
Whoah-oh-oh-ho-oh…
You’re the one who’s riding about on a leopard. You’re the one who’s throwing the shiv in the air! You’re the one whose well I will weather And the weathering takes you from leather Made for princes to lay their princely heads of hair Upon the end of your feral days Upon the end of your feral days Upon the end of your feral days
Oh-oh-oh
You’re the one who ran in the wild a virgin to a name; You’re the one who lived off a forsaken land. I’m the one who sat at your capture And let the snow fall on this whispering rapture You’re the one who’s kissing your captor’s hands
“Well shit, I know we’re all growing old. But where there’s a will, there is a way So way to go.” Say goodbye to your feral days. Say goodbye to your feral days. Say goodbye—bye-bye-bye
‘Cause you’re the one who’s riding around on a leopard; (ba-da-dum) You’re the one who’s throwing dead birds in the air. And you’re the one whose wild hide will weather In the weathering days To a lover made soft So princes can lay down their princely white heads! OF HAIR!
Say goodbye… Say goodbye to your feral days. Say goodbye—bye-bye-bye.
