There were wolves lying the dark   As she was raining sparks into the room like that   She was dancing in a neon cave with a tilted smile and a lover's laugh   Embossed upon her in the darkness   Like a light at the edge of night beside her      And as the drugs get in their heads they growl and circle at the edge beside her   There are wolves lying in the dark and so she rises up like a butterfly   She's still spinning in a scarlet dress and though the music stops and though the echoes die   She carries unknown things inside her like old volumes they will never read without her   And as the moves get in their heads they know that they don't know something without her      There were wolves      There are wolves hiding in the woods and they can smell the blood on the summer air   And they run beneath a million stars and in a million taxis and they're going where   They drink their beer from plastic glasses 'til they find the words to make the first move   And when the fear dissolves itself they find the means to execute the first move      There were wolves
