I'm waiting at the bus stop For a double decker ride Supermarket checkout boy Finds his way inside A shady looking character His beady eyes on me I slide into a window seat And then pretend to read It's a wild, it's a wild Wild, wild world The hardest thing is holding on Holding on and take the strain They're coming at me At angles that I never knew existed They ain't gonna get me I'm building up my colors of resistance It's a runaround on the underground A cybermatic shopper With a slight sadistic grin Pulls a zipper on her sleeping bag Shuts herself within A triple quilted chrysalis Waiting for the sales A bargain basement butterfly Going off the rails It's a wild, it's a wild Wild, wild world The hardest thing is holding on Holding on and take the strain (take the strain) They're coming at me At angles that I never knew existed They ain't gonna get me I'm building up my colors of resistance (The hardest thing is holding on Holding on and take the strain)
