Turn the lights off, turn the lights off
Your daddy better lock up his girl
Say a prayer, boy, call on the cross
'Cause you ain't got no more when the music comes on
Board up the doors, the windows
And keep your crying under your breath
'Cause I smell a drop of beer in a ten gallon tank
And I'm movin' in for the kill

Yeah, in the wild kingdom
You don't live 'til you're ready to die
You don't live 'til you're ready to die
You don't live 'til you're ready to die
You don't live 'til you're ready to die

Which one of you sons of bitches
Is gonna make me feel alive?
Which one of you motherfuckers
Is gonna get inside my heart?
Is gonna get inside my heart?
Is gonna get inside my heart attack?

It's a full moon, denim is tight
And my flannel shirt is freaking out
Run for your life, cover your eyes
I don't want you to see me party this hard
I've got a bone to pick with the morning sun and the first last call
But I didn't put my hair in a pony tail for nothing
So if i'm going home alone, I ain't going at all
Yeah, in the wild kingdom
You don't live 'til you're ready to die
You don't live 'til you're ready to die
You don't live 'til you're ready to die
You don't live 'til you're ready to die

Which one of you sons of bitches
Is gonna make me feel alive?
Which one of you motherfuckers
Is gonna get inside my heart?
Is gonna get inside my heart?
Is gonna give me a heart attack?

Look away, it's too much to bear
I've been bitten by the party animal
Save yourself
Save yourself
And tell my baby that I loved her so

Don't cry
Don't cry
I gave the world one hell of a time and I
Don't regret a thing except for the times that I got caught givin' in

Hey
Hey
Hey
I never thought it would take
I had thick blood and cynical skin
So where are you supposed to escape
When the creature is lurking inside you?
