i'll beat the rap for a self-made trap
|
get all tied up in endless crap
|
quicksand, i planned
|
pitfalls, i dig 'em all
|
|
self-made rope
|
and self-made binds
|
i'm all wrapped up
|
in a sour grape vine
|
a human web,
|
i've spun every thread
|
tight nets, i weave all i can get
|
a rats maze wouldn't faze
|
brick walls, i'm enthralled
|
|
self-made traps, self-made snares
|
handicaps and wheelchairs
|
drown myself in rain,
|
freeze myself in snow
|
help comes fast, pride goes slow
|
could be free if i choose
|
born to win, dying to lose
|
|
self-made twine,
|
hand-made chains
|
i'm all bound up and self-contained
|
jail cells, i build well
|
lions dens, i got a yen
|
land mines, i design
|
avalanche, i wouldn't blanch
|
|
self-made traps, self-made snares
|
handicaps and wheelchairs
|
drown myself in rain,
|
freeze myself in snow
|
help comes fast, pride goes slow
|
could be free if i choose
|
born to win, dying to lose
|
|
the warden comes to set me free
|
i grip the bars, swallow up the key
|
it's like serving time
|
when there's none left
|
on a fast train nowhere
|
but we're not there yet
|
the scenery moves
|
the train stands still
|
|
dungeon dark,
|
i'll quench every spark
|
a hangman's noose,
|
never leave 'em loose
|
|
self-made traps, self-made locks
|
combinations i forgot
|
for guards and gates i await
|
i'm a natural born inmate
|
could be free if i choose
|
born to win, dyin' to lose
|
lust came fast, love left slow
|
the die is cast, the word is no
|
