Ball and Chain Songtext
von 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

Do-do-do-do, do-do
Do-do-do-do, 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 the distance
That portrait of the past
Etched within an echo
The first will be the last

Do-do-do-do, do-do
Do-do-do-do, 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
