Cut Me Loose - Eddie And The Getaway

You never saw me comin' I never wanted nothin' to do with you Do with you The gun was in your hand You were angry like a man You said, "Cut me loose, cut me loose" And I do want to make it back to you Clipped my wings but I still flew Can't go back to the old you, that's not you I could never understand How to meet all your demands Push your point of view 'til it isn't true It gets so dark before the dawn I got no shelter from your arms So I cut you loose, cut you loose And I do want to make it back to you Clipped my wings but I still flew I can't go back to the old you That's not you And I do want to make it back to you Clipped my wings but I still flew I can't go back to the old you That's not you Bad times, you must've left me at the right time Inside showin' on the outside Every time I went back inside You reminded me of how I went down Now nothing's movin', I'm a thin sound Static buzzin' on the cold ground 'Til all that's left are the hopeless and the broken ones Every lie you picked apart It put an arrow through your heart I could feel it too, feel it too You were screamin' in the rain There was no way I could explain So I cut you loose, cut you loose And I do want to make it back to you Clipped my wings but I still flew I can't go back to the old you That's not you And I do want to make it back to you Clipped my wings but I still flew I can't go back to the old you That's not you And I do want to make it back to you Clipped my wings but I still flew Can't go back to the old you That's not you

Felt like I could sleep for days Got to change my wicked ways Yeah The only way I can escape This ever looming twist of fate Yeah Is if you cut me loose Yeah Cut the abuse Yeah Cut me loose Left my problems on the shelf Problems from somebody else I brought em out for you to see Make em about you and me, yeah You got my secrets Nothing left Nothing to get off your chest So you gonna make me guess Guess unless there's nothing left Yeah You gotta cut me loose Yeah Cut the abuse Yeah Cute me loose Yeah I'm sure that things won't go my way I'm not sold Yeah don't buy what they say Yeah I'm sold Then nobody's safe Guess it's my turn Just promise me, promise me That you'll cut me loose Yeah Cut the abuse Yeah Cut me loose Yeah Cut the abuse Yeah Gotta cut me loose Yeah things won't go my way Cut me loose Don't buy what they say Cut the abuse Ain't nobody's safe Yeah cut me loose

So this is what it is I'm just another case After this wad of me Now I can truly see I should have known when you came to me I had eyes on the treasure I couldn't keep Got so buried in love I can hardly breathe Fed you all of my heart and you swallowed me Now I'm starving Stop wasting my time babe No more changing your mind on me Cut me loose Do it for my sake I'll be better on my own Oh oh oh oh I'm picking the silence It's time that I do what's best for me Cut me loose And try to forget me I'll be better on my own On my own Do it do-do it, do it do-do it for my... sake How did it all begin? Baby I'm caving in Nothing I know is clear Where do I go from here? I should have known when you came to me I had eyes on the treasure I couldn't keep Got so buried in love I can hardly breathe Fed you all of my heart and you swallowed me Now I'm starving Stop wasting my time babe No more changing your mind on me Cut me loose Do it for my sake I'll be better on my own Oh oh oh oh I'm picking the silence It's time that I do what's best for me Cut me loose And try to forget me I'll be better on my own On my own Do it do-do it, do it do-do it for my... sake

Well, this thing that we had built Was flaying into shreds It was short and it was dry Like the hair on a shrunken head And all the king's men spread the pieces on the floor By the time they fit together, we had forgotten what they were for Pretending like she's beautiful in the pictures I can see But she only picks the good ones That's more than I can say for me But that's the way it always starts Feel like Lily and the Jack of Hearts Always making out like bandits 'Til you get away and it falls apart It falls apart You're always dressed up like a priest You're always drilling through the wall Cracking the safe and skipping town While poor Rosemary takes the fall You're always looking for the future Rinsing out the dye Looking for a moral to the story That sounded good and happened to rhyme Rosemary on the gallows Dressed like nothing's wrong No funeral, no flowers For an outlaw in a song But that's the way it always goes Feel like Lily and the Jack of Hearts Always making out like bandits 'Til you get away and it falls apart It falls apart But that's the way it always goes Feel like Lily and the Jack of Hearts Always making out like bandits 'Til you get away and it falls apart It falls apart That's the way it always goes (that's the way it always goes) That's the way it always goes (that's the way it always goes) That's the way it always goes (that's the way it always goes) Feel like Lily and the Jack of Hearts

Close the window so your breath won't get in Drunken breath from this broken bottle Shattered window from the factory where we Used to throw rocks at, Used to throw, used to throw rocks at Camera flashed many times in the streets before breakfast Most of your friends I still wish I had messed with Wish I could back to when I knew you better than I knew myself And I'll hold your hand, let you think I still care (This is my escape) You were a part of yesterday and never tomorrow (My mistake) Bags are packed it's over now I'll say goodbye from Jersey Gas light says I'm empty but I'm glad I'm far away from you right now Is it time to walk away? My Getwaway I shoulda know the difference paranoia and doubt Like when I saw you over his house when you said you were out When you didn't come home at night for over two weeks How come I never realized why you kept changing the sheets The boot prints on the carpet said appeared like magic And the one day I didn't notice you wearing his jacket When you said everything you did wasn't really that tragic Made me almost lose it, I almost lost it And I'll hold your hand, let you think I still care (This is my escape) You were a part of yesterday and never tomorrow (My mistake) Bags are packed it's over now I'll say goodbye from Jersey Gas light says I'm empty but I'm glad I'm far away from you right now Is it time to walk away? My Getwaway And I'll hold your hand, let you think I still care (This is my escape) You were a part of yesterday and never tomorrow (My mistake) Bags are packed it's over now I'll say goodbye from Jersey Gas light says I'm empty but I'm glad I'm far away from you right now Is it time to walk away? My Getwaway

Here I am again Talkin' to myself Sittin' at a red light Both hands on the wheel How am I supposed to feel? So much runnin' through my mind First you wanna be free Now you say you need me Givin' mixed signals and signs It's so hard to let you in Thinkin' you might slam the brakes again Put the pedal down Headin' out of town Gotta make a getaway The traffic in my brain's Drivin' me insane This is more than I can take You tell me that you love me first Then throw your heart into reverse I've gotta get away I can't keep comin' back to you Every time you're in the mood To whisper something sweet in my ear It's so hard to move on 'Cause every time I think you're gone You show up in my rearview mirror Is this just a detour 'Cause I've gotta be sure That you really mean what you say It's so hard to let you in Thinkin' you might slam the brakes again Put the pedal down Headin' out of town Gotta make a getaway The traffic in my brain's Drivin' me insane This is more than I can take You tell me that you love me first Then throw your heart into reverse I've gotta get away To a place where I can be redefined Where you're out of sight And you're out of mind But the truth is, I can't even say goodbye Here I am again Talkin' to myself Sittin' at a red light Both hands on the wheel How am I supposed to feel So much runnin' through my mind Put the pedal down Headin' out of town Gotta make a getaway (a getaway) The traffic in my brain's Drivin' me insane This is more than I can take (I can take) You tell me that you love me first Then throw your heart into reverse I've gotta get away (Getaway, getaway, getaway) (Getaway, getaway, getaway) (Getaway, getaway, getaway)

The moon is on the bright side But we've thought of everything Send the word to the prisoners Tonight, we get away When you hear the signs of confusion Come drifting through the door Get your belongings together Don't leave nothing behind And hey boys tonight we get away, to the other side Head for the wall and get away We're sick and tired of hearing That the world is gonna blow So there's something we'll do to the leaders Before we go Let's stick-'em in a room together Yeah- And make them fight it out Until they see, nothing from nothing Will leave nothing at all And hey boys tonight we get away, to the other side Head for the wall and get away Open the door--open the door-- Let me out--I wanna go-- Das ist auch unsere Welt This is our world too Oui c'est nôtre monde aussi Hey boys tonight we get away, to the other side Head for the wall and get away "We'll give you anything you say" Hey boys tonight we get away, to the other side Head for the wall and get away "We'll miss you more than we can say"
