lyrics

The boys gather at the bar
to laugh at what they’ve found,
then she walks through the open doors
and wrestles them to the ground;
Promises are made in haste
beneath the covers of a sheet…And a face.
In the early light
of a tired dawn
I learned your name.

You leave me naked, oh,
Naked and Chained.
You leave me naked, oh,
Naked and Chained.

Outside the doors the girls walk by
a dime a dozen to the shout;
I thought I had all their tricks
and their promises figured out.
She leaves behind a pair of earrings,
a dress, and a ring…Just simple things,
but the longer I keep,
the less I sleep,
all I feel is pain.

You leave me naked, oh,
Naked and Chained.
You leave me naked, oh,
Naked and Chained.

I find my way
beneath her touch,
she doesn’t understand
how much I trust
a single word
to a lonely mind
becomes divine…

To free myself
from her gentle touch,
I pull my hand away,
but it doesn’t mean much
it seems insane
to like this pain
you leave me Naked and Chained…
