[Verse 1]

Oh, you wired me awake

And hit me with a hand of broken nails

Yeah, you tied my lead and pulled my chain

To watch my blood begin to boil

[Chorus]

But I'm gonna break, I'm gonna break my

I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run

Yeah, I'm gonna break, I'm gonna break my

I'm gonna break my rusty cage

And run

[Verse 2]

Too cold to start a fire

I'm burning diesel, burning dinosaur bones

Yeah, I'll take the river down to Stillwater

And ride a pack of dogs

[Chorus]

But I'm gonna break, I'm gonna break my

I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run

Yeah, I'm gonna break, I'm gonna break my

I'm gonna break my rusty cage

And run

[Bridge]

Hit like a Phillips head into my brain

It's gonna be too dark to sleep again

Cutting my teeth on bars and rusty chains

I'm gonna break my rusty cage

And run

[Outro]

When the forest burns along the road

Like God's eyes in my headlights

And when the dogs are lookin' for their bones

And it's rainin' icepicks on your steel shore

Well, I'm gonna break, I'm gonna break my

I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run

Well, I'm gonna break, I'm gonna break my

I'm gonna break my rusty cage

And run
