If you want it you can come and get your reward.

Hit the floor: you and me, we can get to war!

Where all is fair. That's all I'm in for!

All of it! I'll love it, forever and more!

I guess it all depends on the whether or not

you'd rather revel with the rebel in the spotlight.

Fly to the top level when you're ready to tether the knot.

I'm kicking rocks. You can stay in this spot

with the devil and rot. The devil's the cop.

The devil's the thought that's got you ready to drop.

I'd rather you not.

I'd rather fly together far from this featherless flock!

But it's not my right to take what's not mine.

I can wait. My clock's stopped. I've got nothing but time.

Hurry up! Don't be late. Don't be fake.

Follow the truth in your heart. Love or Hate.

Make the escape. Make the decision to stay or break away.

Sparkle or fade or pass the time; procrastinate.

Later may come my way or fade away, either way

I need me a lady!

You can be mine, see? Just ride with me

when it's time to leave. Before I flee would you tell me please,

"If you remain, will you ever be free?"

I can erase the painful spots. Your cage is locked.

Have faith.

I have the keys and the combination to the safe.

I've also got patience: lots.
