Wild Eyes

There is a beast sleeping by my heart
In its dreams, it's tearing you apart
When you broke my heart in three
Splitting the sides open 'round me
My heart cried out, it shook, and it screamed
You woke the beast, it's wild eyes and wild teeth
Wild eyes and wild teeth
Searching for the fight
Wild wings with wild, wild heat
Circling in flight
Someone new can try to tame this beast
Or rodeo into the night
But it is a fighter
Ready for the fight
Hopping its feet on the ground
It heaves and wheezes
And howls like a hound dog
For air, and unwound
There is a beast awake by my heart
Kicking up dust and tearing shit apart
I stare it down, try to rope it by the feet
But face to face, it has my wild eyes and wild teeth
Wild eyes and wild teeth
Searching for the fight
Wild wings with wild, wild heat
Circling in flight
Someone new can try to tame this beast
Or rodeo into the night (into the night)
But I am the rider
And I am the beast
Wild night is a-calling, calling
"Come on out and dance"
"Come on out and dance"
"Come on out and make romance"
The girls walk by and they're dressed up for each other
Boys do the boogie-woogie on the corner of the street
"Come on out and dance"
"Come on out and make romance"
You can rodeo into the night with me
I am the rider
And I am the beast
