It was a cruel turn of fate 
I did three bitter years inside 
A friend of mine who set me up 
And he was the one got away with the money. 
But I swore tonight would be the night 
This place couldn't hold me no longer. 

The rain was dancing on the yard 
The searchlight creeping down the wall 
The night it was so black outside 
I nearly jumped half a block from the rendezvous. 
But when I landed on the street 
I saw the green light come shining 

[Chorus]
I'm busted loose, I'm out on the run 
I'm so close, you're right in the sights of my gun, 
I'm nervous, I'm out of control 
I can't stop the hurricane down in my soul 
Nobody can hide you 
I'm standing right beside you 
Watching everything you do. 

I thought that I was strong enough 
To take the screws at their own game 
But they've got tricks they keep in store 
For anyone dreaming of beating the system 
They had me down upon my knees 
Soon I was begging for mercy

My girl she said she'd stick it out 
She kissed my fingers through the grille 
She whispered she'd love no-one else 
But then she took off with a creep from the south side 
The night they passed me down the news 
That's when the fuse started burning 

[Chorus]
