CALL OF THE WILD

When wind bends between the ears
When women climb between the sheets
When juices drip down from the legs
This is the call every man hears
The call of the wild

When sirens are drowning the senses
When a woman is giving up her menses
When life is beating you bloody
And you get up to take another bruising
The call of the wild

Where forests are slain by machinery
Where brothers turn against another
When friends turn against their lovers
And the dead have no one to bury their bones
The call of the wild

The call of the wild
Its the home of every monster
The den of cubs and mothers
The children fed their supper
And kin will be safely nestled in bed
