Jailbreak
Landon Pigg Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm breaking out, I'm breaking free
Tonight's the night for me
I've waited for this for so long
4-3-2-1 and I'll be gone
Wait till the guard is fast asleep
Wait till the darkness covers me
I'm breaking out, I'm breaking free
But all the years I've cried
Are satisfied tonight in the dark
I'm plotting my escape
Tell these crooked metal bars
It's the jailbreak
And I might die or I might fly away
But tonight is the night of the jailbreak

I couldn't find the key so this
Spoon will have to do
I've got a naked poster to cover up
The hole when I'm through
Though all my friends are for me
My chances don't look good, oh no

Through all the years I've cried
Are satisfied tonight in the dark
I'm plotting my escape
Tell these crooked metal bars
It's the jailbreak
And I might die or I might fly away
But tonight is the night of the jailbreak

Oh man
Here we go

I'm breaking out
Tonight in the dark
I'm plotting my escape
Tell these crooked metal bars

It's the jailbreak
And I might die or I might fly away




But tonight is the night of the jailbreak
Ohh, jailbreak
