Verse:
         E5
When the forest burns along the road
     E5
Like God's eyes in my headlights

When the dogs are looking for their bones

And it's raining icepicks on your steel shores

 Gonna break my rusty cage and run

 I’m gonna break my
E5                    D            E5
 Gonna break my rusty cage ... and run
