1
The heat of my brain turns the iron bars
2
Around me to dust, but when I come to my senses
3
It's a winter's day and
4
There's just a little rust
5
I'm walking through the revolving doors in my mind
6
But no matter how hard I try
7
I can't seem to get out the other side
8
Cause everywhere I look is looking back"¦
9
I'm a holy man in a stained glass cathedral
10
But when I look in the mirror all I see is
11
Cinder blocks and stainless steel
12
I got eight tailored suits waitin' for me
13
When I get back home
14
"¦if I ever get back home
15
Everywhere I look is looking back to where I'm lookin'
16
When I get back to where I'm lookin' to go
17
You can hold me captive for all these things I've done
18
But, I'm quite sure by now this ain't the only race I'm gonna run
19
She said she could never forget the look of my eyes
20
It's a misfortunate fortune that I'm in here
21
But at least I'm still alive
22
I once knew a man who traveled by the whistles' aim
23
It's been forty years now and
24
I just need someone to know my name
25
I sprint towards freedom, how else would you move that way?
26
But I ain't as fast as I used to be and the dogs are catching up
27
But I'm gonna die either way so I might as well die trying
28
Everywhere I look is looking back to where I'm lookin'
29
When I get back to where I'm lookin' to go
