Wild, The Beautiful And The Damned Lyrics - The Island Years - Ultravox

Calling cards of madness 

Pull the brass men from their knees 

To petrify more images to dangle 

Just outside the reach 

Of the stunted and the dreamless ones 

Who have nothing left to keep 

For frozen dawns or nights 

As cold as these have been 

Don't ask for explanations 

There's nothing left you'd understand 

You're one of the wild, the beautiful and the damned, the damned 

The wild, the beautiful and the damned 

We read the latest venereal journals 

Flicked through some catalogs of fear 

You tore some more pages 

From your old lovers hearts 

Then we engineered a wild reunion 

In a Berlin Alleyway 

While your New York Fuhrer 

Tore our universe apart 

Don't ask for explanations 

There's nothing left you'd understand 

You're one of the wild, the beautiful and the damned, the damned 

The wild, the beautiful and the damned 

Break my legs politely 

I'll spit my gold teeth out at you 

Your sores are almost big enough 

To step right inside now 

I'll send you truckloads of flowers 

From all the worlds that you stole from me 

I'll spin a coin in the madhouse 

While I watch you drowning 

Don't ask for explanations 

There's nothing left you'd understand 

You're one of the wild, the beautiful and the damned, the damned 

The wild, the beautiful and the damned, the damned 

The wild, the beautiful and the damned, the damned 

The wild, the beautiful and the damned, the damned 

The wild, the beautiful and the damned 

The wild, the beautiful and the damned
