Wild Wild West Lyrics

Wild Wild West

Forty-seven dead beats living in the back street
North east west south all in the same house
Sitting in a back room waiting for the big boom
I'm in a bedroom waiting for my baby

CHORUS:
She's so mean but I don't care
I love her eyes and her wild wild hair
Dance to the beat that we love best
Heading for the nineties
Living in the wild wild west
The wild wild west

Mandy's in the backroom handing out Valium
Sheriff's on the airwaves talking to the D.J.'s
Forty-seven heartbeats beating like a drum
Got to live it up live it up
Ronnie's got a new gun

CHORUS

Now put your flags in the air and march them up and down
You can live it up live it up all over the town
And turn to the left, turn to the right
I don't care as long as she comes tonight

CHORUS

Heading for the nineties living in the eighties
Screaming in a back room waiting for the big boom
Give me give me wild west
Give me give me safe sex
Give me love give me love
Give me time to live it up

CHORUS

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Ah, a wonderful song to get down to that they rarely play at parties. It deals with the typical stress that one endures when transitioning into a new decade, along with all the changes that come with it. I wish the real wild west sounded this cool.

Fear of the Cold War.- waiting for the big boom 47 heartbeats - people cramed into a bob shelter Ronnie's got a new gun - Regan's got Nuculear missles

Moving into a new decade, but still crazy, wild, like the old west

I just listened to this song for the first time in ages and realized that it's NOT about the West of the US, but about the West as opposed to the East (i.e. the USSR). I never really listened to all the Cold War references before.

This is a BDSM song. I have that direct fron Escape Club when they were at Mississippi Nights in StLouis and after the show spent many hours in MY Dungeon with some play babies! And the people named in the song are real and known! "Ronnie" is Ronnie Spectre a well know Dominatrix! "Sheriff" is also a well known Dom. Sorry to burst somany bubbles and erase so much innocence, but it's 100% BDSM! Scotty
