I was wise, went downwind
I hid all the evidence
but then I saw you walking slowly down the stairs with your friends
soon the dogs caught the smell and the detective found prints
so I kicked, and I fought
did all I could just to resist
my dirty face on the ground a heavy knee in my back
and I m heading downtown with handcuffs tight around my wrists

I was home free, and headed south
I d buy an island and relax
now I m, locked up, and staring out
through metal bars at what I had
it was airplanes and dirty vans
and a confession to fog the air
now your, hooked up with an old friend
all I have this paper a pen and all these
really good reasons to swear

I d erase, start again
I see it clearly inside my head
It would have worked under a different set of circumstances
but my life s not a movie, I can never again
live a day, in the past
When we walked nowhere are 4 am
I let my hand hang beside me hoping you d get the hint
But you didn t that night and now you re so happy with him

I m holding onto this spoon
And I m scratching at the cement
When the guard s not paying attention
I will tunnel through dirt and rock and under barbed wire fence
And I will find my freedom
In the sunlight, my freedom
