Come on and listen to my tale It´s a strange and sorry tale that´s gonna rock you About a man, the drifting kind, let the story now unwind
It´s gonna shock you Some people said he was a ghost Wouldn´t wanna be his host or just to meet him And if he ever came their way There´d be sticks and stones, I´d say, that would grieve him He was a Steppenwolf, a lost and lonely one He was a Steppenwolf, forever on the run He was a Steppenwolf with a forgotten past He was a Steppenwolf, who found a love at last He was a Steppenwolf The girl he met was out-of-sight Though she walked the streets at night, he didn´t mind it She seemed as happy as a song And if anything was wrong, he didn´t find it They used to laugh and dance and drink And not ever did he think of a payday
No matter where they ever were Every day he spent with her was a hey-day He was a Steppenwolf and not a handsome man He was a Steppenwolf, who didn´t know her plan He was a Steppenwolf, not very bright at all He was a Steppenwolf, just riding for a fall He was a Steppenwolf One day she said, "It´s time you knew That I started up with you for just one reason You´re gonna do just what I want For there´s something that I want And I ain´t teasing, my life is empty all around Nothing that I ever found would fulfill me So for a while I´ll be with you When I say that we´re through, you must kill me" He was a Steppenwolf, he cried, "It isn´t fair" He was a Steppenwolf, "You know how much I care" He was a Steppenwolf, she said, "This is the deal"
He was a Steppenwolf, he saw this was for real He was a Steppenwolf He was a Steppenwolf, they spent a long last night He was a Steppenwolf and with a smile she died He was a Steppenwolf, a lost and lonely one He was a Steppenwolf, forever on the run He was a Steppenwolf
