Faithful is a lie 
Freedom's just a game 
Somebody tacked onto 
Your ball and chain 
Love is a drug 
You've been canonized 
Want to be a high priestess? 
Then you got to sacrifice 
Somebody wants you 
To put out your eyes 
And drag you lower 
On the ladder than he is 
Reel you in slowly 
Kingfish on a line 
Some people get a kick 
Out of making you suffer 
You try the patience of the gods 
In the heat of a moment's pleasure 
And your sad retreat 
Mistake the moment for the song 
The actor for the role 
The neon light for day 
Somebody wants you 
To clip your wings 
Take shelter in the dark 
And the savage heat 
Mocks you with the burning sky 
And drops you in the ring 
Somebody gets a kick 
Out of seeing you suffer 
He can't take pleasure 
He feeds on pain 
He ain't no gambler 
He just likes to play the game 
It's a measure of a man 
It's a candle in the rain 
To treasure the link 
And not the chain
