A little too much
Reddens my eyes
There's a bad news comet
Tracing across the skies
A little too much what can I say
Hope tomorrow I won't feel this way
Trying to find what can't be found
Search for answers till my hair drags the ground
Shackles and chains, my head is busted
In ties and binds
Shackles and chains, a little too much going
On in my mind
Used to be alone a lot then I strayed
Used to be a stranger then I stayed
Oh, it's a mean scene
Even the hippies here walk with a load
Slowly learning - celluloid burning
Up in the reels - how not to feel
Shackles and chains, my head is busted
One messed up plight
Shackle and chains, like a twister
Through a caravan site
Used to be alone a lot then I strayed
Used to be a stranger then I stayed
Used to be alone a lot then I strayed
Used to be a stranger then I stayed
Shackles and chains, my head is busted
One messed up plight
Shackle and chains, like a twister
Through a caravan site
Used to be alone a lot then I strayed
Used to be a stranger then I stayed
A little too much
Reddens my eyes
There's a bad news comet
Tracing across the skies
Shackles and chains, my head is busted
In ties and binds
Shackles and chains, a little too much going
On in my mind
Used to be alone a lot then I strayed
Used to be a stranger then I stayed
Used to be alone a lot then I strayed
Used to be a stranger then I stayed
Used to be a stranger then I stayed
Used to be a stranger then I stayed
