I´m like a cat in a cage, locked up and battered and bruised
I am the prodigal son, a shameful prodigy too
I am the love of your life, battering ram and confused

I turn each day into night, I stand there waiting for you
There is desire to fight, but I have nothing to prove
With the crowd and some lights, I start to feel things move
Do you have something to hide? ´Cause I think that we all do
I am a child inside, back up and give me some room

I´m just a bastard child, don´t let it go to your head
I´m just a waste of your time, maybe I´m better off dead
They turn us loose in the night, a fucking Jekyll and Hyde

We´ll have the time of our lives although we´re dying inside

So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I´d rather go it alone
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I´m never coming home

Don´t start to panic for me, ´cause I have nothing to lose
I am as bright as the sun, I burn up all that I choose
Up on the side of the field I see a city with lights

I touch her face when I kneel, she tells me she´s not alive
I am too nervous to run, the kids who scatter and hide
Still reach and grab for someone, but end up buried alive
Her world is waiting for me, a world that I rarely used
I start to feel my feet, they kick down walls as they move

I´m just a bastard child, don´t let it go to your head
I´m just a waste of your time, maybe I´m better off dead
They turn us loose in the night, a fucking Jekyll and Hyde
We´ll have the time of our lives although we´re dying inside

So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I´d rather go it alone
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I´m never coming home

I´m just a bastard child, don´t let it go to your head
I´m just a waste of your time, maybe I´m better off
dead
They turn us loose in the night, a fucking Jekyll and Hyde
We´ll have the time of our lives although we´re dying inside

So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I´d rather go it alone
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I´m never coming home
