Wilderness

Song is from The Woods CD/LP, which is available at Subpop Records.
Official lyrics come with the album; I have modified them so that the lyrics posted here
reflect what I actually hear the band singing in the song.
Because that took me lots of time and effort, please do let me know
if you would like to use the lyrics I have posted here on your site.
Or even just reference my site on yours. Thanks!

Kenny and Linda on the way to Chelan
transmission's shot, no back up plan
will they hitch a ride?
or get into a fight?

moved to the West Coast
packed up their things
the winters are gray
now so are the dreams
they tried, to make it all right

all our little wishes have run dry
made it to the water, waded in the lies
when we felt the heat
couldn't turn it into fire
too caught up in our own desires

said "I Do" in the month of May
said "I Don't" just the very next day
will they try again?
or is it doom for them?

moved to a city
where hippies run wild
everything's white
now so are the smiles
they tried, to fight the good fight

all our little wishes have run dry
made it to the water, waded in the lies
when we felt the heat
couldn't turn it into fire
too caught up in our own desires

we're split right in half
it's making me crazy
a two-headed brat
tied to the other for life

here we are... WE'RE LOST!

a family feud
the Red and the Blue now
it's Truth against Truth
I'll see you in hell, I don't mind

here we are... WE'RE LOST!
(we're all lost!)

all our little wishes have run dry
made it to the water, waded in the lies
when we felt the heat
couldn't turn it into fire
too caught up in our own desires
