I woke up this morning I went to the window Mouth feels like a birdcage And I'm dying for a cigarette Look across the skyline The morning sun is rising Air is thick and heavy Like the smell of opportunity And I feel like a motherless child I feel like a motherless child Promises on the table Empty bottles on the floor Hoped I'd see your face again Waiting at my door I remember how you used to be wild With your wheels on the road for miles and miles I want to ride in your car Cleaning up the kitchen Before I go to work Another dollar another day For some other jerk Thinking of some other place Somewhere true Always planning my escape From the human Zoo I remember how you used to be wild With your wheels on the road for miles and miles I want to ride in your car
