Whoa Wild Will Wire WIth Wrap You Young Your

How do you recapture afresh the impact of an overly-familiar work of art?

Here are the lyrics of a great, overly-familiar song, arranged in alphabetical order, with each word in the song only listed once:

9 a all american amusement an and are at baby back be beach beyond bold
bones born boulevard boys break broken but cages can ’cause chrome-wheeled comb come could ’cross day death die don’t down dream dreams drive drones drop
engines everlasting everybody’s feels four friend from fuel-injected get girl
girls glory go gonna gotta guard hair hands hard hemi-powered heroes hide
highway highway’s how huddled i i’ll i’m if in is it it’s jammed just kids kiss
know last-chance left legs let like line live lonely look love machines madness
mansions me mirrors mist my n never night no of oh on one ooh out over palace
park place power rap real really rearview ride rider rims rips rises road ’round
run runaway sadness scared scream so someday soul sprung stark steppin’ strap
streets suicide sun sweat that the their then there’s these this three through
till to together tonight town tramps trap try two us velvet visions walk wanna
we we’ll we’re wendy were when where while whoa wild will wire with wrap you
young your

From a very nice quiz, asking you to identify songs which have undergone the same treatment: http://www.themorningnews.org/archives/diversions/and_great_lyrics_quiz_rock_roll_the.php
