Song lyrics

Come on and listen to my tale,
It's a strange and sorry tale,
That's gonna rock you,
About a man, the drifting kind.
Let the story now unwind,
It's gonna shock you.

Some people said he was a ghost,
Wouldn't wanna be his host
Or just to meet him,
And if he ever came their way,
They'd be sticks and stones, I'd say
That would grieve him.

He was a Steppenwolf, a lost and lonely one,
He was a Steppenwolf, forever on the run,
He was a Steppenwolf, with a forgotten past,
He was a Steppenwolf, who found a love at last,
He was a Steppenwolf.

The girl he met was out-of-sight,
Though she walked the streets at night,
He didn't mind it.
She seemed as happy as a song,
And if anything was wrong,
He didn't find it.

They used to laugh and dance and drink,
And not ever did he think of a payday.
No matter where they ever were,
Every day he spent with her was a hey-day.

He was a Steppenwolf, and not a handsome man,
He was a Steppenwolf, who didn't know her plan,
He was a Steppenwolf, not very bright at all,
He was a Steppenwolf, just riding for a fall,
He was a Steppenwolf.

One day she said "It's time you knew,
That I started up with you
For just one reason,
You're gonna do just what I want,
'cause there's something that I want,
And I ain't teasing.
My life is empty all around,
Nothing that I ever found
Would fulfill me.
So for a while I'll be with you,
When I say that we're through,
You must kill me!"

He was a Steppenwolf, he cried "It isn't fair".
He was a Steppenwolf, "You know how much I care".
He was a Steppenwolf, she said "This is the deal".
He was a Steppenwolf, he saw this was for real,
He was a Steppenwolf.

He was a Steppenwolf, they spent a long last night,
He was a Steppenwolf, and with a smile she died.
He was a Steppenwolf, a lost and lonely one,
He was a Steppenwolf, forever on the run,
He was a Steppenwolf.
