As the day breaks
Through the doorway
And I'm still chained to this house
But you call me
And I follow
And act like I'm so proud
Still readin'
The sidewalk
And it smells like mornin' news
And I don't know
Why I still can't
Seem to pull away from you
Watchs the window
Time means nothin'
Watchs the window
'Til I see you comin'
Born a beggar
Will you ever
See me more than Pavlov's hungry dog?
See no colours
Live another
Day to feed on everything you are
And you are
When the day sleeps
And the sunshine
No longer burns my eyes
And the sound of
Your footsteps
Is the only thing that lies
Between me
And the feeling
That life fills these four walls
That cage me
Completely
Just waiting on your call
Watchs the window
Time means nothin'
Watchs the window
'Til I see you comin'
Born a beggar
Will you ever
See me more than Pavlov's hungry dog?
See no colours
Live another
Day to feed on everything you are
On everything you are
I run for you
A fall so hard
My secrets
Are buried in the yard
Born a beggar
Will you ever
See me more than Pavlov's hungry dog?
See no colours
Live another
Day to feed on everything you are
Born a beggar
Will you ever
See me more than Pavlov's hungry dog?
See no colours
Live another
Day to feed on everything you are
On everything you are
On everything you are
On everything you are
