He Was A Steppenwolf

Lyrics

Come on and listen to my tale  
It's a strange and sorry tale  
That's gonna rock you  
About a man, the drifting kind  
Let the story now unwind  
It's gonna shock you  
  
Some people said he was a ghost  
Wouldn't want to be his host  
Or just to meet him  
And if he ever came their way  
They'd be sticks and stones, I'd say  
That would grieve him  
  
He was a steppenwolf, a lost and lonely one  
He was a steppenwolf, forever on the run  
He was a steppenwolf, with a forgotten past  
He was a steppenwolf, who found a love at last  
He was a steppenwolf  
  
The girl he met was out-of-sight  
Though she walked the streets at night  
He didn't mind it  
She seemed as happy as a song  
And if anything was wrong  
He didn't find it  
  
They used to laugh and dance and drink  
And not ever did he think of a payday  
No matter where they ever were  
Every day he spent with her was a hey-day  
  
He was a steppenwolf, and not a handsome man  
He was a steppenwolf, who didn't know her plan  
He was a steppenwolf, not very bright at all  
He was a steppenwolf, just riding for a fall  
He was a steppenwolf  
  
One day she said "it's time you knew  
That I started up with you  
For just one reason  
You're gonna do just what I want  
'cause there's something that I want  
And I ain't teasing  
My life is empty all around  
Nothing that I ever found  
Would fulfill me  
So for a while I'll be with you  
When I say that we're through  
You must kill me!"  
  
He was a steppenwolf, he cried "it isn't fair"  
He was a steppenwolf, "you know how much I care"  
He was a steppenwolf, she said "this is the deal"  
He was a steppenwolf, he saw this was for real  
He was a steppenwolf  
  
He was a steppenwolf, they spent a long last night  
He was a steppenwolf, and with a smile she died  
He was a steppenwolf, a lost and lonely one  
He was a steppenwolf, forever on the run  
He was a steppenwolf
