Wild east, wild east
Hazy afternoon
A low buzz filled the room
A second floor view of a busy street
Wild east
Get on at Greenwood
Ride west to Chester
Walk south to Danforth
And take a right
To a door on the north side
Up the stairs into outer space
And there's a quiet man with impeccable taste and shifting eyes
Dreams keep dying all around
They shatter as they hit the ground
And anytime I looked for peace
I knew it could be found at wild east
Wild east, wild east
I have this picture in my memory
Before the world got heavy
And I was living in the city
Where my mother was a girl
Dreams keep dying all around us
Like a shadow disconnecting from the ground
And anytime I looked for peace
I knew it would be found at wild east
Wild east, wild east"
