Coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
If I told you things I did before
Told you how I used to be
Would you go along with someone like me?
I'm coming up only to hold you under
I'm coming up only to show you wrong
And to know you is hard, we wonder
To know you, all wrong we were
Brother you don't need to turn me away
I was waiting down at the ancient gate
You go
Wherever you go today
You go today
Well it's a big big city and it's always the same
Can never be too pretty, tell me your name
Is it out of line if I was to be bold and say "Would you be mine"?
Cradle me
I'll cradle you
I'll win your heart
With a woop-a-woo
Pulling shapes just for your eyes
You used to get it in your fishnets
Now you only get it in your night dress
Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness
Landed in a very common crisis
The times we had
Oh, when the wind would blow with rain and snow
Were not all bad
We put our feet just where they had, had to go
Never to go
Kill me if you dare
Hold my head up everywhere
Keep myself riding down this train
Things have gotten closer to the sun
And I've done things in small doses
So don't think that I'm pushing you away
When you're the one that I've kept closest
