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
