Lyrics
We live in motels
Can't find a life anywhere else
There's someone waiting there for me
To put me on a leash
There ain't no taking this soul home
So I can offer you a new deal
Give me a thirty second start
I'll give you one free shot
Chorus- Call me the enemy but I'm your hunted dog
FInally I break free but now you want to take me home
Tired of being chained up, sick and tired and mangy
Don't try to save this runaway
And believe the lies of suits and ties
He'll just lock me up and silence my cries
Discard, discard that little child
And someone offered me a way out
And he would offer me a good deal
GIve me your drug infested arm
I'll give you one free shot
Chorus
Take my hand, freedom's just a pinch away
Peaking out, on my knees the curtains sway
Your life, give it up, bring it on home
