Patti Smith - Boy Cried Wolf Lyrics
Oh the story's told been told retold
From the sacred scriptures to the
tabloids
All the fuss and fight none above a
whisper
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 within
Boy cried wolf
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

Oh the story's told
been told
retold
From the
sacred scriptures
to the
tabloids
All the fuss
and fight
none above
a whisper
From the soul
of gold
to 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
let the arrows fly
Through the trees
the trees
The ornamental leaves
And the boy cried wolf
Wolf don't come
Wolf within
Boy cried wolf
In the ancient mold
well they're
dancing down
Calling to the moon
but it
don't answer
And they fell
on their knees
passed the bowl
around
And the blood
the blood
The sacramental blood
And the 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 Every Thing
They bring me flowers
that are my Self
Garlands of blood
that are my Self
Slaying the lamb
that is my Self
are praying for the lamb
that is him Self
Cause they
drew him
from the forest
Like they
draw blood
Tied him to a tree
like St. Sebastian
And he turned his head
let the arrows fly
Through the trees
the trees
The ornamental leaves
And the boy cried wolf
Wolf don't come
Wolf within
Boy cried wolf
I don't care
I don't whine
I don't know
I don't Know
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
in a sense
Auuuuuuuuuuu
maravilhoooosa
💘💘

Spit on each other in a small club in Cincinnati. Rage on against the dying of the night PS.
Puissant. Inégalable !

The song is so very strong. It magnetizes with its inner bewildering power, I may put the listening aside for some time, but I will come back to it over and over... Thank you Patty.
If one day, woman was superior to man, so was Patti !
Top singer!
Terrrible
Going to exploit her in my lectures on Photorealist & Hyperrealist art on friday. She is still an incredible, credible performer. Coll she picked up Bob's Nobel .

I saw her in Lyon in France end July in the antique roman theatre. Boy did she set the crowd on fire. After three songs, the whole crowd was standing, dancing and never sat back. She is a f**ing GIANT!

In her voice there is something unnameable, something that scares and charms you at the same time. Something you can't absolutely resist.
Greatest woman ever.Seriously.She's even better than Simone de Beauvoir.
Pure pleasure to listen to the master... yes, the master...
impressionnante...quelle douleur rageuse dans cette voix ,qui nous donne envie de l 'assister .mais ,quel talent...petite fille à l 'oiseau...
excellent!!!!
