i’ve got freedom
i’ve got kindness
in a bottle by my bed
i agree to your conditions
i’ve got vultures in my head

it’s a damn shame
it’s a prison
where the swine are wearing pearls
carry water to my bedside
before i’m off to save the world

i’ve been tired too long to notice
if i’m better than before
i missed my opportunity
but i missed you even more

& i feel bad for the madness
madness doesn’t stand a chance
thanks for offering
but i told you
i only drink when i dance

i have come down from the mountain
with a scalpel & a tie
i’ll surrender my persona
but i will not let it die

so greet me with a grin
or give that gun another twirl
i’m under fire
i’m under water
& i’m off to save the world

i’m off to save the world
for as long as i can
