I knew I'd be a drifter Since the day I turned sixteen Watching my dad fix up cars And the smell of gasoline I just wish that someone Took the time to warn me 'Bout those evil things That lie beyond the trees Cus' when the wolves are hungry The wolves they'll eat I just wish these wolves would get their claws out of me And I've never been any good At every sticking around But I'll always be the one That'll let you down Seems like my feet start running Before they hit the ground Just wish they didn't always take me To the wrong side of town Cus' when the wolves are hungry The wolves they'll eat I just wish these wolves would get their claws out of me Now when the wolves are hungry The wolves they'll eat I just wish these wolves would get their claws out of me And I could see the fire in their eyes The blood on their teeth And they could smell the fear in my bones And hear the shiver of my knees The beautiful image The sweet amphetamines I just wish these wolves would get their claws out of me I just wish these wolves would get their claws out of me
