Mount Eerie Dances With Wolves

(album: Mount Eerie Dances With Wolves - 2005)

"I belong in the world!"

If you think that "the wild world"
Is a place you must open doors to see
Tear up the floor boards
Make a fire on your bed
Put arms through windows
And tell me again
"I belong in the world!"

If you think the black bird above you
Will "disappear" into the night
Then sit and wait
Black night will come
Find yourself invisible
And then try to tell me again
"I belong in the world!"

If you think going camping
Will undo a long life of slow dying
Then go 'head, go camping
Try to forget
Try to forget in the desert
Try to forget on the hill
Try to forget
And then try to tell me again
"I belong in the world!"

If you think the howling wolves
That live outside the city gate
Will keep you from tasting
The permanent snow that forever waits
On the distant peak
And you hold yourself hostage
And your own dogs will bite you
And the wolves lick your wounds
And the wolves will raise you
And the wolves will raise you
And the wolves will raise you
The wolves will raise you
The wild wolves will raise you
The wild wolves will raise you to the summit
And you'll live and taste and say
"Let's get out of the world!"

And I know it's not as warm
Living life there, under the skies
Let's get out of the world
And I know it's not as warm
Out from underneath the blankets
Let's get out of the world

And all the sweetness in the world
Looks gross in that disguise
Let's get out of the romance
