| Everything crashed | |
| His wife left him | |
| He lost all of his money | |
| And most of his friends | |
| He lay awake all night | |
| Lonely and desperate | |
| Contemplating | |
| Starting again | |
| (these chains are all your own | |
| These chains are comfortable) | |
| 4.00 in the morning | |
| Sat in the kitchen | |
| Keys on the table | |
| Went out for a drive | |
| He didn't know | |
| Where he was going | |
| Didn't know | |
| If he was alive | |
| The dawn was breakin | |
| A new day was rising | |
| Shadows creepin over the fields | |
| Over the fields | |
| He watched the pink light | |
| Steal across the horizon | |
| He realised | |
| He saw with new eyes | |
| These chains are all your own | |
| These chains are comfortable | |
| This cage was never locked | |
| Born free but scared to be | |
| These chains are all your own | |
| These chains are comfortable | |
| These chains were never locked | |
| Born free but scared to be | |
| This cage was made for you | |
| With care and constant attention | |
| This cage is safe and warm | |
| Will you die and never know what it's like to be/live | |
| Outside. |
