lyrics

Local midnight, not a sound down by the river
Not a star shines in the full-moon sky
Feel desire grow to fullness from a sliver
Flicker of firelight in my lover's eye

My mama told me, don't go out after the sun sets
Beware of the full moon and its eldritch light
But you consume me and drag me out at sunset
I take you off in the morning, put you on at night

Wearable wolf, wearable wolf, wearable wolf
Fits just right

Come closer baby as the night grows colder
City streets, shadows of moonlight glow
Feel the heat rise as you wrap around my shoulders
Don't wait for the morning, let the night go so slow

In the shadows, the velvet touch of a sweet friend
Silhouette howling and a surge of power
In the darkness, I feel like a girl of eighteen again
But where would we find one at this late hour

Wearable wolf, wearable wolf, wearable wolf
I might bite

In the city as I watch, a little more light dies
Sound of the traffic keeps the moon at bay
But I want to dance in Somerville with the dogs that run after moonrise
In the magic of midnight and the smell of prey

Feel the breeze, heady wine tickles the senses
Feel it nearer, comes the long night prowling
Feel the pack rise over all the walls and fences
We shatter the windows and we come out howling

Wearable wolf, wearable wolf, wearable wolf
Feel my bite
Yeah, I'll bite
We will bite
