Take me alive

I'm old enough now

Let me look up

And see the stars shine.

'cause I've got everything but time on my hands

You see beauty in the strangest of ways.

So let me live in the wild tonight

I'll never be alone

Watch daylight expire

And hide from the city I'll never know

Wash me in the street

I'll float away

Let me live in the wild tonight.

Hope has found me

A different place

I've wanted much more

But I cannot relate.

'cause I've got everything but time on my hands

You've caught me looking for love in the dark.

So let me live in the wild tonight

I'll never be alone

Watch daylight expire

And hide from the city I'll never know

Wash me in the street

I'll float away

Let me live in the wild tonight.

Who'd have thought it, who'd have thought it?

I could be yours when I've never been mine

Who'd have thought it, who'd have thought it?

This is the place for me and my bones.

So let me live in the wild tonight

I'll never be alone

Watch daylight expire

And hide from the city I'll never know

Wash me in the street

And I'll float away

Let me live in the wild tonight.
