Basement Door

I don't need no pity

I don't need no sympathy

You are either with me

Or we are enemies

And luck is good and luck is bad

And luck can be all that

And she can be a cold cold mistress

And luck is all you have

I have been freed

I have been caged

I'm all that's bent

I'm all that's aged

I been the lucky one

For many a long year

But now I have a debt to pay

Before I leave from here

Before I leave from here

And what I had to give the world

Holds no value anymore

I will leave this ugly place

Through the basement door

Yes I will leave this dismal place

Out through the basement door

When I leave this place

It will be through the basement door

Don't grieve for me love

I will not be scared

The oldest lion still living in this lair

I have been freed

I have been caged

I'm all that's bent

I'm all that's aged

I been the lucky one

For many a long year

But now I have a debt to pay

Before I leave from here

Before I leave from here
