Wild Things Run Fast

He came, she smiled

She thought she had him tamed

But he was just as wild

Eating from her hand at last



Wild things run fast



In the dark he could see

The trap that was lying

In her sweet company

Eating from her hand at last



Wild things run fast



Winter beat the pines about

He heard the heater

Cutting in and out

While she dreamed away



In the night, it snowed

Fast tracks in the powder white

Leading out to the road

Winding from her tender grasp



Wild things run fast

Wild things run fast

Wild things run fast



What makes you run?

Wild thing, I thought you loved me
