Breaking the Chains
Blackthorne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gotta getaway from the stranglers noose
I wanna have a party, she don't like the noise
I don't need a lecture, I'm one of the boys
I don't like to argue, but she loves to fight
I need a vacation, I gotta do what's right...
Breaking the chains of love tonight
Leaving the game of love behind
I'm breaking the chains...
Notify all parties of my early vacation
I'm on the next train, before it leaves the station
She thinks she's got me locked up
And tied down tight
I'm bustin' down the four walls
I'm outta here tonite
Now she wants to make up
'Cause I'm heading for the door
I don't wanna hear it, I've heard it all before
Breaking the chains of love tonight
I'm breaking the chains...
Leaving the game of love behind
I'm breaking the chains...
Breaking the chains of love tonight
I'm breaking the chains...
Leaving the game of love behind
I'm breaking the chains...
I'm hot some fun tonite
And I'm gonna break loose
Finally got away from the stranglers noose
Now I'm at the party, but don't like the noise
I don't hold no grudges
Cause I'm one of the boys
Well I have my bags packed,
They're sittin' on the floor
I said I'm checkin' out girl
But now I'm back for more
Breaking the chains of love tonight
I'm breaking the chains...
Leaving the game of love behind
I'm breaking the chains...
