Lyrics
House Arrest
Words and music by Robert Marsh

VERSE ONE:
Got a one way ticket to neverwhere
Calling all stations, soul laid bare
Kicking a man when he?s lying down
Gotta shake this pain, gotta leave this town
Missing the morning for living the night
Gotta hold on, gotta do what?s right
Finally now my wars are won
Gotta chase the rain, gonna see the sun
I just wanna break away tonight
I just wanna see the brightest light
CHORUS:
Yeah it?s alright
I ain?t under house arrest
Under house arrest no more
No more, no more, no
Yeah it?s alright
And I?m gonna be the best
Gonna be the best I?m sure
VERSE TWO:
Running on empty into the ground
I hear my heart make a thumping sound
Taking it easy I don?t wanna do
Gotta win this fight, gotta see it through
Running away from a river of tears
What I was tied to for years and years
Finally now my wars are won
Gotta chase the rain, gonna see the sun
I just wanna break away tonight
I just wanna see the brightest light
