Gray light, new day leaks through the window
An old soul song comes on my alarm-clock radio
We walk the forty blocks up to the middle
To the place we heard where everyone would be

And there were barricades to keep us off the street
But the crowd kept pushing forward
´Til they swallowed the police

Yeah, they went wild
Baby, they went wild
They went wild
They went wild

We left before the dust had time to settle
And all the broken glass swept off the avenue
On the way home I held your camera like a Bible
Just wishing so bad that it held some kind of truth

And I stood nervous next to you in the dark room
You dropped your paper in the water
It all begins to bloom

Yeah, they go wild
Yeah, they go wild
Yeah, they go wild
Yeah, they go wild

And just when I get so lonesome I can´t speak
I see some flowers on a hillside
Like a wall of new TVs

Yeah, they go wild

Baby, they go wild
They go wild
They go wild

Yeah, they go wild
They go wild
They go wild
Yeah, they go wild
