Stan Ridgway - Free Of It All lyrics

You were captain of the ship It was headed for rocks But you were first in the lifeboat somehow Now you're watching from shore As the pa**engers wave from the bow Free of it all Now you'll just float away Blowin' like leaves on the wind The rules of the game can be changed By the one who wins Chorus: Now you're free of it all So free of it all Now you're free of it all So free of it all And i know that you'd say That you'd always planned it this way The cargo was lost But you never give in Your heart is still locked in a vault You're free of it all When it's somebody else's fault To finish this spin With the twist of a hand To know that you've hidden a crime One goes on ahead while another is left behind Chorus: And you're free of it all So free of it all Now you're free of it all So free of it all And you knew i would say You'd always planned it this way I always knew You would walk out one day And it never crossed my mind To throw in just one more dime And get this close to the line Now that it's done And my locks've been changed And the keys are all back in the drawer You're not a prisoner I'm not a guard anymore Chorus: And you're free of it all So free of it all Now you're free of it all So free of it all And you're free of it all So free of it all Now you're free of it all So free of it all And i know you would say That you'd always planned it this way
