I woke up this morning
I went to the window
Mouth feels like a birdcage
And I'm dying for a cigarette
Look across the skyline
The morning sun is rising
Air is thick and heavy
Like the smell of opportunity
And I feel like a motherless child
I feel like a motherless child
Promises on the table
Empty bottles on the floor
Hoped I'd see your face again
Waiting at my door
I remember how you used to be wild
With your wheels on the road for miles and miles
I want to ride in your car
Cleaning up the kitchen
Before I go to work
Another dollar another day
For some other jerk
Thinking of some other place
Somewhere true
Always planning my escape
From the human Zoo
I remember how you used to be wild
With your wheels on the road for miles and miles
I want to ride in your car
