A Walk on the Wild Side Songtext

von Mick Harvey

Sinner, don't you hear what I'm sayin'
Sinner, you've been playin', not prayin'
One day of prayin' and six nights of fun
The odds against goin' to heaven, six-to-one

You walk on the wild side, the Devil is waitin'
He's waitin' to take your hand
You walk on the wild side, you're walkin' with Satan
Away from the Promised Land

Sinner, if you're playin' with fire
Sinner, stakes keep getting much higher
One day of sorry then six in the brothel
Satan is waitin' to take your soul to hell

You better cross over, you better walk humble or you're gonna stumble
And Satan is waitin' to take your hand
You walk on the wild side, you walk on the wild side
Away from the Promised Land

One day of prayin' and six nights of fun
The odds against going to heaven, six-to-one
One day of prayin' and six nights of fun
The odds against going to heaven six-to-one
