[Verse 1]

At the shoreline in a snowstorm

I was baptised like a newborn in the static

There was a voice inside a dream

Said "lift your head up, come up clean in the static

[Chorus]

You were a wild thing

Pretending to be tame

I was a wild thing

Trapped inside a cage

I wasn't looking for deliverance

When you walked in from the wilderness

I was yours and you were mine

But everything returns on time to the static

[Verse 2]

Though the circuit boards erased

Flashes of memories still remain in the static

In between the ones and zeroes

You will find me if you let go in the static

[Chorus]

You were a wild thing

Pretending to be tame

I was a wild thing

Trapped inside a cage

I wasn't looking for deliverance

When you walked in from the wilderness

I was yours and you were mine

But everything returns on time to the static
