📝 Lyrics

[Intro]
Claws on the tile
Moon in his teeth
Everybody hollers
He just walks through clean

[Verse 1]
Bingo hit the doorway with a helmet full of night
Little armored thunder hanging calm and tight
Kitchen went to sirens, chairs began to slide
He stood like a foreman with the job still alive

[Pre-Chorus]
What do you want from me?
I brought the wild inside
What do you want from me?
It was digging up the yard tonight

[Chorus]
Drop the moon, Bingo, drop the moon
That little tank don't belong in the living room
Drop the moon, Bingo, drop the moon
Shake the dust off the floor, let the wild thing move

[Verse 2]
Screens caught the panic, mouths went wide
Thirty-eight million watching one dog decide
Back through the door with the problem in tow
Like a gold-coated bouncer at a backyard show

[Pre-Chorus]
What do you want from me?
I fixed it like I could
What do you want from me?
The night was tearing up the neighborhood

[Chorus]
Drop the moon, Bingo, drop the moon
That little tank don't belong in the living room
Drop the moon, Bingo, drop the moon
Shake the dust off the floor, let the wild thing move

[Bridge]
Some beasts arrive with a warning cry
Some come carried under porch-light eyes
Somebody screams, somebody laughs
The house becomes a weather map

[Guitar Solo]

[Final Chorus]
Drop the moon, Bingo, drop the moon
Open the door to the Oklahoma gloom
Drop the moon, Bingo, drop the moon
Let it roll through the grass, let it vanish soon

[Outro]
Claws on the tile
Moon in his teeth
Wild goes home
Dog looks pleased
