The Shells - Jailbird Lyrics

Someone call the guards, I think I might start a fire
I'm losing all control, I'm giving into desire
Climbing over restless limbs
All tied up in knots from loving him

I'm going crazy, I'm going crazy
Being a jailbird
I'm burning down the walls to light up the front door
Tearing down the holes to see the light once more
Jailbird, not gonna be a jailbird anymore

I don't feel any bit of bad on my old dark self
Maybe I'll be cold without my protective shell
But all I know is I won't grow
Being captive to your control

I'm going crazy, been going crazy
Being a jailbird
I'm burning down the walls to light up the front door
Tearing down the holes to see the light once more
Jailbird, not gonna be a jailbird anymore
Jailbird, jailbird

Ooh, thanks to my boy, I leave you now
Bye love
If we met again, I'd hold you dear
But bye for now, my love

I'm burning down the walls to light up the front door
Tearing down the holes to see the light once more
Oh, jailbird, not gonna be a jailbird anymore
Jailbird, not gonna be a jailbird anymore
