I need you like the thousand screams
That peel the paint in L'hotel Serein
All the love all the dreams
Shakin' chains won't let me sleep

On the killing line try to ease my mind
Scratch the days on the walls unkind
Been so long but I'll be fine
Shakin' chains and counting time

I need you like I need bad dreams
Beat the bars in the jailhouse mean
Been so long since I've been free
Shakin' chains won't let me sleep

Been so long since I've been free
Shakin' chains
