Got no reason to stay
There ain’t nothing to hold me down
No, nothing in my way
If you’ll just undo these straps
I’ll split tout suite
If you’ll just open up this cage
I’ll beat my retreat
Checking out
Baby, checking out
Checking out
Baby, checking out
My deal is done here
Got nothing more to say
The clock keeps right on a-ticking
Yeah, time is having its way
Won’t you unlock the locks
I know you got the key
Won’t you please open up the door
And set me free
My essence is gone
Ain’t got a single drop
Feeling more and more like a eunuch
An old dude in a tank top
Let me out of here
Won’t you open the lid
I been trying to set myself free
I am off the grid
