Ball and Chain - Cage The Elephant

Flirting with suspicion

Staring through the glass

Another false transaction

A production of the past

I was lost in fabrication

The finish line was fixed

The code was falling fast

And it was stacking up like bricks

(Doot-doot-doot-doot, do-do)

(Doot-doot-doot-doot, do-do)

I may never see you again

It's a ball and chain

With the golden handcuffs

You can carry me away

If I say my bad, you can trust in that

Only one holds the keys

To the ball and chain

Cut that ball and chain

Cut that ball and chain

Cut that ball and chain

Lost sense of direction

Just a shadow in the haze

My parasitic past life

Halfway in a daze

I saw that in a distance

That portrait of the past

Etched within an echo

The first will be the last

(Doot-doot-doot-doot, do-do)

(Doot-doot-doot-doot, do-do)

I may never see you again

It's a ball and chain

With the golden handcuffs

You can carry me away

If I say my bad, you can trust in that

Only one holds the keys

To the ball and chain

Cut that ball and chain

Cut that ball and chain

Cut that ball and chain

I may never see you again

It's a ball and chain

With the golden handcuffs

You can carry me away

If I say my bad, you can trust in that

Only one holds the keys

To the ball and chain
