Hey-oh-hey-oh-hey-ah-hey-ah
Hey-oh-hey-ah-hey-ah
Ain't no prison like this skull
For crazy thoughts like these
No cage like my cranium
For animals like these
For animals like these
And don't you feed the animal
You'll only make him hungrier
And never get too close
He might come through the bars and pull you in
And pull you in; might pull you in
Ain't no prison like this skull
When morning comes you're at the gate
You come to see the animals
But eye to eye it's just too much
'Cause I'm inside and you can't touch
I know my cage from wall to wall
I pace it all; it's not so small
Get too close; I'll move so fast
Pull you in; I'll pull you in
Get wild with me inside this cage
Get wild with me inside
(Guitar solo)
They come to see the animals
On nature shows; in petting zoos
'Cause they're so fuckin' civilized
So pasteurized; all dead inside
And there's no freedom like my skull
For screaming thoughts like these
All locked inside a cranium
Where no one hears or sees
Get wild with me inside this cage
Ain't no freedom like my skull
No freedom like my skull
You got too close; you get too close
You got too close; don't smile
Too close; don't feed
Too close; you're in
You're in, you're in, you're in
You're in my cage, don't smile
Hey-oh-hey-oh-hey-ah-hey-ah
