You might calm me, but you cannot tame me
Your domesticity appalls me
And I'll bite off the hand that feeds me
Then I'll go back home to the country
You're forcing my hand, here
When the mountain and the trees look so near
You know I won't stay here
Free from fallen humankind
You might calm me, but you cannot tame me
Your domesticity appalls me
And I'll bite off the hand that feeds me
Then I'll go back home to the country
Like a bolt from a ghostly revolver
I will leave like smoke from the chamber
With a glimpse of a superior specter
You will see the gallop in me
You're forcing my hand, here
When the mountain and the trees look so near
You know I won't stay here
Free from fallen humankind
You might calm me, but you cannot tame me
Your domesticity appalls me
And I'll bite off the hand that feeds me
Then I'll go back home to the country
