Oscar Wilde Lyrics

I remember a night back home
Some distant years ago
As my dog ran along the road
As fast as he could go
And I know that the past is gone but
Some moments shine like gold
And I called as I followed
And all I called was

Oh-weh, oh-weh oh-weh
Oh-weh, and where do we go, eh?
Oh-weh oh-weh
Oh-weh, just on and on and on

I'm going to let go
I'm going to see you
I'm going to do all I was afraid
If I would forget
Who I thought I was
I'm gonna make a friend of chaos

Will you be my friend
Will you be my right hand
If I ran into my creature
So glad to meet you
Oscar Wilde, yeah

Ooh-weh, ooh-weh
Ooh-weh, ooh-weh

In the palms of a morning stage
In the roll of a midnight song
I followed you out there
I followed you old dog
When I run let me feel no care
We fist bump when the evenin' comes
What's mine is mine to bear
So all I call is

Oh-weh, oh-weh oh-weh
Oh-weh, and where do we go, eh?
Oh-weh oh-weh
Oh-weh, just on and on and on

Follow the rooftops
Set some day goals
All of the wild ones sing
But where do we go
But where do we go
But where do we go
Just on and on and

Runnin' the alleys
With broken bottles
All of the thugs, they're cool
But how would I know
But how would I know
But how would I know
How would I know when

Ooh-weh, ooh-weh
Ooh-weh, ooh-weh
Ooh-weh, ooh-weh
Ooh-weh, ooh-weh

I'm going to let go
I'm going to see you
I'm going to do all I was afraid
If I would forget
Who I thought I was
I'm gonna make a friend of chaos

Will you be my friend
Will you be my right hand
If I ran into my creature
I'm not gonna miss it
Oscar Wilde, eh

Ooh-weh, ooh-weh
Ooh-weh, ooh-weh
Ooh-weh, ooh-weh
Ooh-weh, ooh-weh
