lyrics

So it comes to this
The same temptation wearing a different face
You think you can fool me – uh uh

The jailhouse door is swinging open
But I’m just staring out through the bars
The jailhouse door is swinging open
But I’m just staring out through these bars

What happened to the man
I thought I was becoming?
Now my heart is trapped
My arms are wrapped
Holding an empty bag of dreams

Thought I’d let the past become the past
When I was so young and stupid
To think I was any different
I thought I had you fooled

The jailhouse door is swinging open
But I’m just staring out through the bars
The jailhouse door is swinging open
But I’m just sitting here watching TV
The jailhouse door is swinging open
But I’m just sitting here playing cards
The jailhouse door is swinging open
But I’m just staring through goddamn bars

What happened to the man
I thought I was becoming?
Now my heart is trapped
My arms are wrapped
Holding an empty bag of dreams

Thought I’d let the past become the past
Thought I’d let the past become the past
Thought I’d let the past become the past
Same temptation
Oooh same temptation
Oooh same temptation
