I live in the wrong time
A custodian at the agency
That keeps the planets aligned

There’s a breeze
Blowin’ in through the back door
Where I should walk free
It taps out my frustration
Against the outside wall
Just loud enough to drive me c-r-a-zeee

With this life, with this body that did nothing wrong
When it swallowed back that shrieking wave
Your do-right woman, she can’t take it anymore
I hear a hole where the scrape and the drag of my cannons should be
I hear a hole out the backdoor where I should have walked free
I hear a hole

So I chartered a lion
And we’re waiting in your soul for you
Wound tight, haunches loaded and concealed
And you’ll refuse to know your cruelty
Reflecting in the shining mirror of my night eye
Then you’ll flinch just right (just right)
You’ll taste exactly like disbelief
'Cause who am I that I don’t die when you kill me?
Do you hear my hole?

Sometimes sometimes sometimes I climb a tempest
To feel the strangle of my rage release
I pound my lightning in the ground
I don’t hurt anybody
Sometimes I drive barefooted
To live the ecstasy of animal speed
And savor the taste of your disbelief

I'm not your backdoor man!
I'm not your oxeye daisy!
Not your Listerine lady!
Your girl!
