Grey light, new day leaks through the window 
And some old soul [bad word] on the alarm clock radio
We walk the forty blocks to the middle 
Of the place we heard where everything would be 
And there were barracades to keep us off the street
But the crowd kept pushing forward 
Until they swallowed the police
Yeah, they went wild
Yeah, they went wild
Yeah, they went wild

We left before the dust had time to settle
And all the broken glass swept off the avenue
And on the way home I held your camera like a bible
Just wishing so bad that it held some kind of [bad word] 
And I stood nervous next to you in the dark room
You dropped the paper in the water 
And it all begins to bloom
Yeah, they go wild
Yeah, they go wild
Yeah, they go wild
Yeah, they go wild

And just when I get so lonesome I can't speak
I see some flowers on a hillside
Like a wall of new TVs
Yeah, they go wild
