I'm snowed in and my battery's dead Flight's delayed and my friends were late Then you forgot to wind your watch Don't forget to watch out when you wind me up It just wouldn't start, I couldn't even love The handle stuck, I just gave up I got left behind, I thought that you were right Such a mean device how could you spin me all those lies?
And I'm hanging on 'cause I wanna And the feeling's gone but I gotta And I'm hanging on 'cause I wanna And the feeling's gone but I gotta
Iron heart, and my broken arm The train derailed, I'm feeling failed We ran away until we reached the States The night became a darker shade of purple gray Bush fire in my phone lines A no-man's land, wasted space and then The lights went out and the voices shouted Black bagged me then they dragged you screaming out the door
And I'm hanging on 'cause I wanna And the feeling's gone but I gotta And I'm hanging on 'cause I wanna And the feeling's gone but I gotta
'Cause I wanna But I gotta 'Cause I wanna But I gotta
Machine guns. Afghanistan, Microwaves, and pepper spray, Poison darts, and throwing stars Strike my heart and leave me lying in the blood
'Cause I wanna But I gotta 'Cause I wanna But I gotta
