Straitjacket - Marc Martel

I’m a danger to myself

I’m a danger to myself

Every flag of every nation

Waves another sweet temptation

I’m a danger to myself

Got an angel back at home

But the devil in my bones

Sees a royal feast of plenty

Take what I got comin' to me

I got an angel back at home

She keeps my hands tied safely behind me

I never thought that giving up my heart

Could free my soul

No waking up cold

with no stranger beside me

Tonight I take the warm embrace

Of my straight, straitjacket

Now bouncing of the walls

And it doesn’t hurt at all

No amount of medication

Justifies the devastation

I’m a danger to myself

When I’m dying on that bed

Well there won’t be no regret

Save me from the skies of bruises

A man becomes just what he chooses

I won’t feel no regret

She keeps my hands tied safely behind me

I never thought that giving up my heart

Could free my soul

No waking up cold

with no stranger beside me

Tonight I take the warm embrace

Of my straight, straitjacket

Straitjacket

Let the old men complain

About their ball and chain

If it wasn’t for that woman

Lord, I swear I’d go insane

She keeps my hands tied safely behind me

I never thought that giving up my heart

Could free my soul

No waking up cold

with no stranger beside me

Tonight I take the warm embrace

Of my straight, straitjacket
