The wild things will chase you down They'll steal your throne and break your crown Don't ever look them in the eyes You'll only find a nest of lies You've got the hatred that you You've always hated in you You've got to face them now Try to stay away From where the wild things play (La la la la la) [x2] If you waltz with the wild things They'll break your nose and steal all your things And it gets worse, late at night After the long day, when you can't fight You've got the hatred that you You've always hated in you You've got to face them now Try to stay away From where the wild things play (La la la la la) [x2] The wild things will chase you down They'll steal your throne and break your crown And never look them in the eyes You'll only find a nest of lies Try to stay away From where the wild things play (La la la la la) [x4] You've got the hatred that you You've always hated in you You've got to face them now
