"Wolves" lyrics
Sun Kil Moon & Amoeba Lyrics
On our way past vats
Listening to DJ Ken Cortez
New York, New York, and my wild love went rising
(My wild love went rising) by the door
And as we drive along the M2, I feel rested
The scenery soothes me
Along the river of barge moons
On our way to the knob corner
To make music up in the mountains
To live among the beavers in the morn
And to peer in at the ferrets and wild boars
Ooooooo
Along the way we stopped at a tobacco shop
I said, "Marlboro Lines," she said, "What?"
Daniel translated, she said, "Got it."
When I walked outside, I saw a snowman
I said, "Man, I gotta get a photo of that!"
When I walked back along the ice to the van
Shavik said, "Let's go, Marlboro," I said, "Okay man."
Ooooooo
We got to the studio, they started setting up
While I went to my room and kept my mouth shut
I started feeling drowsy, I was falling asleep
Until I heard this—a doctor from B
And this guitar string skipping
And the judo in the QV black
I looked outside—it was dark
I heard the spookiest sound, I said, "What's that?"
They said, "Mom, that's a pack of wolves."
I said, "I don't hear that sound in the California hills."
Ooooooo
Ooooooo
Ooooooo
I said, "Guys, it's been a long day
Do you mind taking it from here?"
Shavik said, "Wait a minute, mom, let me finish my beat
Those wolf sounds you were making kinda hurt my ear."
Ben asked, "Mom, what do you think we should do?"
I said, "I don't know, you're the band, whatever you guys want to do."
Ben said, "How about Victor playing a solo?
Or I can do it on piano?"
Shavik said, "No."
I said, "Okay, Shavik, how about you?"
He said, "Let's do it," and picked up his bass
I went upstairs to brush my teeth
The studio cat was in a deep sleep
I thought, "Oh my God, that's the idea."
But I can't shut my mind, so I came back down here
To add another verse, 'cause the song sounds incomplete
Shavik said, "Okay, Mark, that's enough now—get some sleep."
I said, "Wait a minute, I wanna do one last thing."
And just when I said that, the wolves started howling again
Ooooooo
Ooooooo
Ooooooo
