Real Wild Thing
©Jerry Axson

They were shining lights cross' the water, against a pale harvest moon,
like silvery spider webs, they danced so out of tune,
there's men down by the shoreline, people all along the banks,
you can hear faint talk and laughter, you can hear the preacher giving thanks...

And it's a real wild thing...
that's come into my life,
It's a real wild thing...
and it won't come round' twice,
It's a real wild thing...
that's why I got to keep it all on ice,
It's a real wild thing...

And every mother's daughter, and every father's son,
can sleep behind the law, that stands behind the gun,
but the “talkers” keep on comin', and the city finds delight,
in a small town by the river, that cannot sleep at night,

Got my picture on the TV, interviews at nine,
the sundays' best is cleaned and pressed, the alibies are fine,
And me I'm in the limelight, and me I'm in the know,
the creepin’, crawlin’ monster, who's putting on this show,

Writing songs and composing music satisfy my soul and because of this I know exactly what I am designed to do, it’s just that simple. - Jerry Axson ... more
