Come on and listen to my tale
It´s 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 stick 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
