Holly came from Miami FLA
Hitch-hiked her way across the USA.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her leg and then he was a she
She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side,
Said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side.
Candy came from out on the island,
In the backroom she was everybody's darling,
But she never lost her head
Even when she was given head
She said, hey baby, take a walk on the wild side
She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
And the coloured girls go, doo doo doo, doo ...
Little Joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle there
New York city is the place where they said:
Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
I Said hey Joe, take a walk on the wild side
Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
Lookin' for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo
You should have seen him go go go
They said, hey Sugar, take a walk on the wild side
I said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side
Jackie is just speeding away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess she had to crash
Valium would have helped that dash
She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
I said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side
And the coloured girls say doo doo doo, doo ...Well, I am for real but I am on my way
Silent, of course, but I won't be late
Greed, don't you worry, never let it gonna stay
beat it my loneliness - Go!
so stir it up whatever you don't have to change style
no more trauma, was so far away, you'll only make it die
come back again, always a friend
is that the message I'd like to send?
|: I want you to feel no more loneliness
so ring the alarm
you open my mind
now I talk to the sign
you clear up the sight
now I'm up for the night :|
Time is for real something you'll never change
all that you gotta do, of course, you're acting strange
Rise again, set again, it's all within your range
Do what you gotta do – Go!
So don’t come tell me things that you don’t understand
When it’s all about the honesty and time for you to learn
come back again, you're always a friend
is that the message I'd like to send?
|: I want you to feel no more loneliness
so ring the alarm
you open my mind
now I talk to the sign
you clear up the sight
now I'm up for the night :|
(When) I know I’m supposed to be right
(but) I know that you can’t stop the flow
(and) You know I’m here
gonna be
What you are but not what you see
I want you to feel no more loneliness
I want you to feel no more loneliness
so ring the alarm
|: I want you to feel no more loneliness
so ring the alarm
you open my mind
now I talk to the sign
you clear up the sight
now I'm up for the night :|
