Lyrics

Drift in’ through the halls with the sun rise,

hold in’ on for your (G)call.

Climb in’ up the walls for that flash in’ light,

I can nev er let (A)go.

’Cause I’m gon na be free and I’m gon na be fine,

hold in’ on for your (G)call.

’Cause I’m gon na be free and I’m gon na be (E)fine,

may be not to night.

Now the sun is up and I’m go in’ blind,

hold in’ on for your (G)call.

An oth er drink just to pass the time,

I can nev er say (A)no.

’Cause I’m gon na be free and I’m gon na be (F)fine,

hold in’ on for your (G)call.

’Cause I’m gon na be free and I’m gon na be (E)fine,

may be not to night.

It’s a dif f’rent kind of dan (F)ger and the bells are ring in’ out.

And I’m call in’ for my moth (E)er as I (F)pull the pil lars down.

It’s a dif f’rent kind of dan (F)ger and my feet are spin nin’ ’round.

Nev er knew I was a danc (E)er ’til De (Dm)li lah showed me how.

Too fast for free dom,

some times it all falls (G)down.

These chains nev er leave me,

I keep drag gin’ them a (A)round.

Now I’m danc in’ with De li lah and her vis ion is mine.

Hold in’ on for your (G)call.

A dif f’rent kind of dan ger in the day light,

I can nev er let (A)go.

Took an y thing to cut you I can find,

hold in’ on for your (G)call.

A dif f’rent kind of dan ger in the day light.

Can’t you let me know?

Now it’s one more boy and it’s one more line,

hold in’ on for your (G)call.

Tak in’ the pills just to pass the time,

I can nev er say (A)no.

I’m gon na be free and I’m gon na be (F)fine,

hold in’ on for your (G)call.

’Cause I’m gon na be free and I’m gon na be (E)fine but may be not to night.

It’s a dif f’rent kind of dan (F5)ger and the bells are ring in’ out.

And I’m call in’ for my moth (E5)er as I (F5)pull the pil lars down.

It’s a dif f’rent kind of dan (F5)ger and my feet are spin nin’ ’round.

Nev er knew I was a danc (E5)er ’til De (F5)li lah showed me how.

Now I’m danc in’ with De li lah and her vis ion is mine.

whoa,

Strung up, strung out for your love.

Hang in, hung up, it’s so rough.

I’m rung and ring in’ out.

Why can’t you let me know?
