Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She was dressed in a fit of illusion
Indigo sun skirt, jet-black hair
She was alive with the devil inside
Just burning and bruised with a cataract stare
She was on about the time down in Mexico City
When the devil took her down to make her look pretty
He said, "I'll give you the world if you just give me your skin
And I'll, I'll take you places that you've never been"
[Verse 2]
She said "I was born bound
Left to wander
I'm just trying to get free
You took my mother
You took my father
Oh, but you're not gonna take me"
No, no, you're not
[Verse 3]
Bag packed tight, full of loose ends
She was sinkin' down, overflowing
And tuggin' and tearing, just to keep it all in
But the seams come undone to the fate she was sewing
She said, "Get me a drink and make it a double
Gonna need some miracle to knock out this trouble
You're not gonna win," she screamed to the sky
And said, "I'll keep on running till the day I die"
[Verse 4]
Well
I was born bound
Left to wander
I'm just trying to get free
You took my mother
You took my father
Oh, but you're not gonna take me"
No, no, no
[Verse 5]
No, you're not
No, you're not gonna take
No, you're not
No, you're not gonna take
No, you're not
No, you're not gonna take
[Verse 6]
I got hounds on my heels
Tryna' crawl into my flesh
And tryna' tell me how to feel
I got hounds on my heels
Sleepless hunters follow me
Like I'm their only meal
I've been primed for the kill
Boots on my wheels
Hounds on my heels
[Verse 7]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 8]
Cop said he saved her and he gave her a rose
But the devil hides thorns under flowery prose
He said, "There's nothing I can do to handcuff a demon
But I'll lock you up if you keep on screaming"
[Verse 9]
I was born bound
Left to wander
I'm just trying to get free
You took my mother
You took my father
Oh, but you're not gonna take me
[Verse 10]
No, you're not
No, you're not gonna take
No, you're not
No, you're not gonna take
[Verse 11]
No, you're not
No, you're not gonna take
No, you're not
No, you're not gonna take
