Fruit Bats – Creature From the Wild Lyrics

Back when you were just a pup
Running 'round down on the streets of Mexico
Only rain to fill your cup, stars for a roof
And a stone for a pillow

Then you came to us
A creature from the wild
But you behaved just
Like a perfect child
And you saved us for a while

Back when you were just a boy
Living in a garbage bin behind the motor inn
With a thorn in your paw
The sweetest heart with a worm inside of it

And you came to us
And started a new life
And you looked at us
And everything was fine
And you saved us for a while

Then you came to us
A creature from the wild
But you behaved just
Like a perfect child
And you saved us for a while
And you saved us for a while
