Wild Man (Radio Edit)

Kate Bush · Other Songs - Kate Bush

They call you an animal,

The Kangchenjunga Demon, Wild Man, Metoh-Kangmi.

Lying in my tent, I can hear your cry

Echoing round the mountainside.

You sound lonely.



While crossing the Lhakpa-La

Something jumped down from the rocks.

In the remote Garo Hills by Dipu Marak

We found footprints in the snow.



The schoolmaster of Darjeeling said

He saw you by the Tengboche Monastery.

You were playing in the snow.

You were banging on the doors.

You got up on the roof, Roof of the World.

You were pulling up the rhodedendrons.

Loping down the mountain.

They want to know you.

They will hunt you down,

Then they will kill you.

Run away, run away, run away



While crossing the Lhakpa-La

Something jumped down from the rocks.

In the remote Garo Hills by Dipu Marak

We found footprints in the snow.
