Ooh, I know how it feels
To be cooling my heels
I've been down on them
Long enough
But if I take to them now
Then maybe somehow
You'll see through the bluff
I'm not playing it tough!

I've been a lifetime on deposit
And that's a long time in the closet
And if you say to me
"How was it?"
It was hard taking
That heartbreaking
God forsaken route
But I'm breaking out!

You may say that you choose
To be wearin' my shoes
But look what it did for me
I was buried alive
I don't thrive on that jive
Look and you'll see
What it's like to be me
I've been a lifetime on deposit
And that's a long time in the closet
And if you say to me
"How was it?"
It was hard taking
That heartbreaking
God forsaken route
But I'm breaking out!
