THE CALL OF THE WILD

from SNAKES ALIVE by fleaBITE

about

A surreal story about a little boy who turns into a lion when he gets hungry.

lyrics

I have a little story ‘bout a boy called Andrew
He had a little hunger and the hunger it grew
It grew into a lion with teeth and with claws
A wild and hungry lion with gigantic paws
(Wild and hungry)

His mother was busy, his father wasn’t there
The hunger grew ferocious but the cupboard was bare
“Hurry and feed me!” his fangs glistened white
The window was open, he jumped
Out into the night

His youngest three sisters they knew what to do
They quickly grew feathers and after him they flew
‘Come here our brother,” they called on the wing
“Hear our sweet voices, join us as we sing…”

CHORUS:
The call of the wild runs deep in us all
We’re nice and polite on the outside
But inside, inside we …

His oldest three sisters they quickly grew tails
And dived in the water to swim with the whales
They looked for the lion by the rivers and sea
But nowhere could find him
Oh where could he be?
(Where could he be?)

When the lion grew tired of hunting alone
He started to miss the sweet comforts of home
He drank up the milk that they left by the door
And hugged his six sisters
A lion no more

CHORUS:
The call of the wild runs deep in us all
We’re nice and polite on the outside
But inside….
Inside we ROAR!!!
