[Verse 1]

I count the time I've pissed away in hiding

And I count on finding solace in their song

But in pacing through these halls

Digging nails into the walls

I’ve grown tired of their prying eyes a-spyin'

[Verse 2]

They say the life you got is what you make it

But I've starved myself in comfort for too long

I’m invigored with a drive

A crusade to feel alive

So let's bounce before they wake up and they find me

[Chorus]

Grab your bootstraps, boys

Buckle up

And we out on the loose

(You can't escape us!

Nah, we c-c-comin' for ya)

Got my two step

Winning grin

My finger guns are ready to shoot

(Ooh wah wah wah-ooh, wah wah oohwah)

I'm gonna dance all night

I got a hankerin' to shake off some blues

(You done a bunk, we'll get you, boo)

[Verse 3]

At first I find the atmosphere delicious

As I join them in their jaunty jamboree

Then a crack and I can hear

The neurotic itching fear

Of the amplifying dissonance behind me

[Verse 4]

They say you oughta dance like no one's watching

They’re a telepathic chorus in my mind

With their laser guided eyes

Firing leers as sharp as knives

A pariah gone awry

Ah, just come find me

[Chorus]

Strap my boots down, girls

Buckle up

And I’m back in the noose

(You can't escape it!

Nah, we g-g-gotcha gotcha!)

I feel your cold grip

Chilling grin

Bringing tons of nothing to lose

(Ooh wah wah wah-ooh, wah wah oohwah)

I’ve had enough limelight

Oh won't you tuck me in and sing me the blues?

(Welcome home we missed you)

[Bridge]

Sing me sweetly to my doom

And I know there's no escaping

I'll wait it out

I’m the one on the line here

So I'm getting my fill

And if you had just what I need

I wouldn't want it now

Brother, sister, please don't shame me

Silence so loud

But I promise I'm fine here

I'm just getting my fill

And if you had just what I need

I wouldn't want it now

But I need it now

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]

And I know there's no escaping

I can't hold out

I don't know that I'm fine here

But I'm getting my fill

And if you had just what I need

I think I want it now

This ain't how my mama raised me

Silence so loud

But I'm out of time

They're coming in for the kill

Say that you got just what I want

Because I need it

Gimme all you got

Because if not

They're gonna drown me out
