lyrics:
i'm ready to take off, do it slow
i'm living on the bottom, i've got to go
five little fingers grabbing at the glass
gone those days of running up and down in my cage
it's too late to defend i'm buried, insane
don't you know there's more to life than to win
or are you that kind of stereotype
there's no time, there's no time
there's nothing i could answer
no speech as long as i get nothing
no speech as long as i get nothing
but i've got to get home
so let me free, this is not my home
put away your flashing stick
they try to get close through my head
give me, give me more of your own
a little more don't wanna be nobody's clown
i've got to get home
i've got to get home (oh, boy)
i've gotta gotta got to get
you've gotta gotta got to get
There you have it; a lovely little song from a lovely little German band! Obviously I wouldn't take the time to tab this out if I didn't love it... so of course I recommend all you readers/listeners out there to get your hands on some Guano Apes ("proud like a god"; "don't give me names"). www.guanoapes.com
