Wild Man

They call you an animal The Kanchenjunga Demon Wild man Metoh, Kangmi Lying in my tent I can hear your cry Echoing 'round the mountainside You sound lonely While crossing the Lhakpa La Something jumped down from the rocks In the remote Garo Hills by Dipu Marak We found footprints in the snow The schoolmaster of Darjeeling said We saw you by the Tengboche monastery You were playing in the snow You were banging on the doors You climbed up on the roof Roof of the world You were pulling up the rhododendrons Loping down the mountains They want to know you They will hunt you down Then they will kill you Run away, run away Run away While crossing the Lhakpa La Something jumped down from the rocks In the remote Garo Hills by Dipu Marak We found footprints in the snow We found your footprints in the snow We brushed them all away From the Sherpas of Annapurna To the Rinpoche of Qinghai Shepherds from Mount Kailash to Himachal Pradesh Found footprints in the snow You're not a langur monkey Nor a big brown bear You're the wild man They say they saw you drowned In the Rongbuk glacier They want to hunt you down You're not an animal The lamas say You're not an animal
