I came across a road to lead me from the wilderness
I’ve been wandering the hills and the valleys of darkness
I’ve been running with the wolves through the maze of temptation
I’ve been hanging with the lost ones and chasing the wrong women
Give me wild fruit
one more bite
Give me wild fruit
As sweet as the blush of night
I’m hanging on tight Ayoreo
You can’t drag me to the light
You can slash and burn these woods until this land is clear
Until the creek beds are dry and the birds have disappeared
You can smoke me from the hills but you can’t bribe me to leave
But you’ll never tame the lost ones and you’ll never take their spirit from me
Give me wild fruit
one more bite
Give me wild fruit
As sweet as the blush of night
I’m hanging on tight, Ayoreo
You can’t drag me to the light
Ayoreo, you can’t tame me
Ayoreo, you can’t tame me
Ayoreo, you can’t drag me from the wild
