"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 Let's grouse a man disguised Let's get out of the romance
