When we are wild
We won't comb our hair
We'll let the rain wash us
Whenever it sees fit
And we won't have jobs
And we won't pay rent
And we won't get tired or hungry or bored
Not even a little bit
When we are wild
When we are wild
When we are wild
Everyone we knew
While soft and domesticated
Will wonder where we are
And they'll all sing songs about us
And remember what they want to
And secretly pray for our safety
And our return
When we are wild
When we are wild
When we are wild
When we are wild
And all the blackness
And all unknown
Though it seems so dark and distant
Will be our own
But for now let us hurt
And let us smile
'cause when we're wild
We won't know we're wild
We won't know we're wild
We won't know we're wild
We won't know we're wild
