about

I still have the earings in verse 2...

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…
