[Verse 1]
G F C
Well it's Tuesday night, how I'd like to be inside at this time
G F C
Watchin' T.V. is killin' me, it's such a drag tonight
F C
I feel like Jason, just found a rusty fleece
C F C
And the Cyclops all laughin' at me, you can't tame Wild East
[Chorus]
G F C G F C
Wild East, Wild East. Wild East, Wild East
[Verse 2]
G F C
Now some cynic from the methadone clinic, he keeps on bothering me
G F C
He writes all my lyrics backwards on diapers and hangs 'em from the local trees
F C
Watch out, white boy, don't argue with a sawn off piece
C F C
I'm a crazy son, Mama, I love the grease of Wild East
[Chorus]
G F C G F C
Wild East, Wild East. Wild East, Wild East

Now Jezebel don't feel too well, she talks to Jane
G F C
'Bout a one way conversation on a subway train
F C
Hey! They took away her wallet and her valise
C F C
Love hate, love hate, love hate, love hate, Wild East
[Chorus]
G F C G F C
Wild East, Wild East. Wild East, Wild East
