Lyrics and guitar chords
D
I was talking to Chuck in his Ghengis KG
han suit and his wizardD
's hatD
He spoke of his movie and how he was makG
ing a new soundtrD
ackC
And then we spoke of kids on the cG
oastC
and different types of organic soaG
pC
And the way suicides donG
't leave notesAm
Then we spoke of LorD
raine, always back to LorraineD
I was speaking to Phil wG
ho wD
as given to pills and small racing carsHe h
D
ad given 'em up since hiG
s last cD
rack-up had carried him too farC
Then we spoke ofG
movies and verseC
and the way an aG
ctress held her purseC
And the way lifeG
at times could get worseA
Then we spoke of LorD
raine, always back to LorraineAh,

she's a wildG

Sleeping outG
on the streetD
Oh, livG

D
rtD
She'G
s a wild childD
She's a G
wild childI was talking to Betty about her auditions
how they made her ill
The life of the theater is certainly fraught
with many spills and chills
But she calmed down after some wine
which is what happens most of the time
Then we sat and both spoke in rhyme
Till we spoke of Lorraine
ah, it's always back to Lorraine
I was talking to Ed who'd been reported dead
by mutual friends
He thought it was funny that I had no money
to spend on him
So we both shared a piece of sweet cheese
and sang of our lives and our dreams
And how things can come apart at the seams
And we talked of Lorraine
always back to Lorraine
She's a wild child
oh, and nobody can get at her
She's a wild child
oh, and nobody can get to her
Sleeping out on the street
Oh, living all alone
without a house or a home
and then she asked you, please
oh baby, can I have some spare change
Now can I break your heart
She's a wild child
she's a wild child
