Subject: Lyr Add: RUSTY CAGE (from Johnny Cash)
RUSTY CAGE
Words and music by Chris Cornell (of Soundgarden)
As recorded by Johnny Cash on "American II: Unchained" (1996)

You wired me awake
And hit me with a hand of broken nails
You tied my lead and pulled my chain
To watch my blood begin to boil

But I'm gonna break
I'm gonna break my
Gonna break my rusty cage and run
I'm gonna break
I'm gonna break my
Gonna break my rusty cage and run

Too cold to start a fire
I'm burning diesel, burning dinosaur bones
I'll take the river down to still water
And ride a pack of dogs

I'm gonna break
I'm gonna break my
Gonna break my rusty cage and run
I'm gonna break
I'm gonna break my
Gonna break my rusty cage and run

When the forest burns along the road Like God's eyes in my headlights
When the dogs are looking for their bones
And it's raining icepicks on your steel shore

But I'm gonna break
I'm gonna break my
Gonna break my rusty cage and run
I'm gonna break
I'm gonna break my
Gonna break my rusty cage and run
