Rusty Cage (Studio Outtake) - Soundgarden

You wired me awake And hit me with a hand of broken nails You tied my lead and pulled my chain To watch my blood begin to boil But I'm gonna break I'm gonna break my Gonna break my rusty cage and run I'm gonna break I'm gonna break my Gonna break my rusty cage and run Too cold to start a fire I'm burning diesel, burning dinosaur bones I'll take the river down to Stillwater And ride a pack of dogs I'm gonna break I'm gonna break my Gonna break my rusty cage and run I'm gonna break I'm gonna break my Gonna break my rusty cage and run When the forest burns along the road Like God's eyes in my headlights When the dogs are looking for their bones And it's raining icepicks on your steel shore I'm gonna break I'm gonna break my I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run I'm gonna break I'm gonna break my Gonna break my rusty cage and run I'm gonna break I'm gonna break my Gonna break my rusty cage and run I'm gonna break I'm gonna break my Gonna break my rusty cage and run

Mother You had Me But I never had you I wanted you But you didn't want me So I I just got to tell you Goodbye Goodbye Father You left me But I never left you I needed you But you didn't need me So I I just got to tell you Goodbye Goodbye Children Don't do what I have done I couldn't walk And I tried to run So I I just got to tell you Goodbye Goodbye Mama don't go Daddy come home Mama don't go Daddy come home Mama don't go Daddy come home Mama don't go Daddy come home Mama don't go Daddy come home Mama don't go Daddy come home

The other woman finds time to manicure her nails The other woman is perfect where her rival fails And she's never seen with pin curls in her hair The other woman enchants her clothes with french perfume The other woman keeps fresh cut flowers in each room There are never toys that's scattered everywhere And when her old man comes to call He'll find her waiting like a lonesome queen 'Cause when she's by his side It's such a change from old routine But the other woman will always cry herself to sleep The other woman will never have his love to keep And as the years go by the other woman Will spend her life alone

I'm a rollin' stone all alone and lost For a life of sin I have paid the cost When I walk by all the people say Just another guy on the lost highway Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine And a woman's lies makes a life like mine On the day we met, I went astray I started rolling down this lost highway I was just a lad, nearly twenty two Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you And now I'm lost, too late to pray Lord I paid the cost, on the lost highway Now boys don't start to go ramblin' round On this road of sin are you sorrow bound Take my advice or you'll curse the day You started rollin' down that lost highway
