Boy Cried Wolf Lyrics - Gung Ho - Patti Smith

Oh the story's told been told retold 

From the sacred scriptures to the tabloids 

All the fuss and fight none above a whisper 

The soul of gold the belly of a boy 

Well they drew him from the forest 

Like they draw blood 

Tied him to a tree like St. Sebastian 

And he turned his head and let the arrows fly 

Through the trees, the trees 

The ornamental leaves 

Boy cried wolf 

Wolf don't come 

Wolf within 

Boy cried wolf

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

In the ancient mold they're dancing down 

Calling to the moon but it don't answer 

And they fell on their knees 

and passed the bowl around 

And the blood the blood the sacramental blood 

Boy cried wolf 

Wolf don't come 

Wolf within 

Boy cried wolf 

I am the body I am the stream 

I am the wake of everything 

They bring me flowers that are myself 

Garlands of blood that are myself 

Slain the lamb that is himself 

Torn reborn the cries of our dismay 

Are nothing to the wind but whose to mind 

Kings are lifted up and kings are thrown 

Lost received retrieved 

The human tide 

Innocence had its day 

Innocence had its day 

Innocence innocence
