Raised by pedestrian wolves, out in the forestRaised by pedestrian wolves, out in the forestI was left to fend for myselfI was left in a basket, just like baby MosesTo float down that muddy riverProtected by the stupid little fairiesI floated for nine days and nightsI floated for nine days and nightsTill I came to the cityBright lights and all the fine ladiesCome on out all you bright, fine ladiesI like you just like you areAnd I love you, kind of,Just like you are and I love youLike a sticky piece of cotton candyIn this bright red cotton candy, candy world[Chorus]I'm so excited, about the prospects of meeting with a Stranger in analleyI'm so excitedI hope they're roughI hope their skin isTough like Spanish leatherSongtexteCan't wait until their dull, dead eyes meet mineI can't wait until their dull, dead eyes meet mineRaised by pedestrian wolves, out in the forestRaised by suburban lions, out in the jungleWe really like to run in packs--and I like thatWhen we hunt, we all function with one mindOur collective predications are as sharp as theRazor in my pocket, and as dull as the iceMelting slowly in my glassMy only love is the love of oblivion, in a dark roomWith a couple of pedestrian wolvesSo artfully backlit by a solitary candleI take my pleasure in soft red clouds of desireSo funky in this unwashed bed for oneWith the soft red dreams of oblivion[Chorus]I'm so excited 'cause soon I'll hit the streets I am the crown prince ofpavementI'm so excitedUnder the sheltering skinStretched out so pale and thinThere is an ocean of bright red liquid loveAnd that, my friend, is my favorite colorRaised by pedestrian wolves out in the forestAnd I take my pleasure on a soft red cloudAnd I take my pleasure in the monkey's bedAnd the wolves still howl and the light still glowing redAnd I take my pleasure in a blue steel cageAnd I take my pleasure through the monkey's eyeAnd the wolves all howl while the world around me dies[Chorus]I'm so excited about the prospects of meeting with a stranger in analleyI'm so excitedI hope they're roughI hope their skin is toughLike Spanish leatherRaised by pedestrian wolves out in the forestRaised by pedestrian wolves--out in the forestI was left to fend for myselfI was left in a basket--just like baby MosesTo float down that Muddy RiverProtected by all those stupid little fairiesI floated for nine days and nightsTill I came to the cityBright lights and all the fine ladiesCome on out all you bright, fine ladiesI like you just like you are, and I love you, kind of,Just like you are in this bright red cotton candy, candy worldRaised by pedestrian wolves Aus Songtexte Mania
