Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'll warn you, if cornered
I'll scratch my way out of the pen
Wired, an animal
The claustrophobia begins
[Verse 2]
You think I'm scared of girls
Well, maybe, but I'm not afraid of you
You wanna scare me, then you'll cling to me, no matter what I do
[Verse 3]
Tell you a secret
We shared a needle once or twice
I loved her, she loved me
We slept together a couple of times
[Verse 4]
You think I'm proud of this
Well, maybe, but the shame you never lose
Infatuated with a lunatic and cornered by the muse
[Verse 5]
And it goes down every night
This must be what jail is really like
And I will scratch my way out of this pen, again
[Verse 6]
Lonely? Or maybe
Or maybe not, it all depends
Your ideal, your image
Your definition of a friend
[Verse 7]
If what you're shoveling is company
Then, I'd rather be alone
Resentment always goes
Much further than it was supposed to go
[Verse 8]
And it goes down every night
This must be what jail is really like
And I will scratch my way out of this pen
And I will fall back into it again
[Verse 9]
I'll warn you, if cornered
I'll scratch my way out of the pen
Wired, an animal
