The Walkabouts lyrics got no chains?

Answer 1

"Got No Chains" by the Walkabouts

Locust wind came blowin' right through them swinging doors

It knocked me off my toothpick legs and up the spiral stairs

To a room of long locked lore - museum of fools and lies

No room for my change of heart, no room for my second thought

Spoken down the past, go, there is a makeshift trail

And in the room I carved your name out of my tooth and nail

And I was so cool, it stripped my clothes and stuck 'em in a hole

No room for my change of heart, no room for my second thought

Got no chains, got no chains at all

Left them in motel with my wrecking ball

Got no chains, got no chains at all

Rest assured that he'll soon be cured of that serpent will to score

Jack be nimble, Jack be quickly, Jack drink one of these

And trace the lines of infamy upon the palms you read

The prophets are the profiteers that throw the tethered ball

No room for that change of heart, no room for that second thought

Got no chains, got no chains at all

Left them in motel with my wrecking ball

Got no chains, got no chains at all

Rest assured that he'll soon be cured of that serpent will to scorn

Emissary of luck on you must pull the funeral cart

Down the blacktop finger into the last hurrah

Once a shrewd collector, that cart had overflowed

No room for my change of heart, no room for my second thought

Got no chains, got no chains at all

Left them in motel with my wrecking ball

Got no chains, got no chains at all

Rest assured that he'll soon be cured of that serpent will to score,

And the beast was lost and it lies here slain in the darkness of this hall
