[Verse 1] They stamp the forms I fold the page Smile in the hallway Kick off the cage I wear my old shoes You count the cracks I know a shortcut Through your stacked-up stacks [Pre-Chorus] You want a line I draw a loop You want a box I spill right through [Chorus] No chain on me No chain on me I dance through the cracks No chain on me No chain on me No chain on me I laugh in your rules No chain on me [Verse 2] Badge in the pocket Key on the wall They built the stairway I climb the hall Lunchroom bulletin Plain little lie I turn the chorus Into a sky [Pre-Chorus] You want my yes I give my grin You lock the door I come back in [Chorus] No chain on me No chain on me I dance through the cracks No chain on me No chain on me No chain on me I laugh in your rules No chain on me [Bridge] Take your neat little kingdom I like the mess I got a wild heart And a sharper dress Hands in the air now Feet on the floor If the gate stays shut We paint the door [Chorus] No chain on me No chain on me I dance through the cracks No chain on me No chain on me No chain on me I laugh in your rules No chain on me (hey)
