Lyrics
Verse
The fluorescent lights are humming low
The coffee's cold and the clock is slow
I've counted every single crack in the floor
I can't take this nonsense anymore
The boss is calling with a heavy sigh
But I'm just waiting for the sun to die
Chorus
Pick up the keys and walk out the door
I won't be stepping on this carpet no more
One last beat and a brassy sound
I'm leaving this prison underground
Yeah, I'm gone!
Verse
The files are stacked in a messy pile
I haven't seen a reason to smile in a while
The cubicle walls are closing in tight
But I'm seeing the exit in the pale moonlight
Punch that card and break the chain
I'm dancing through the pouring rain
Chorus
Pick up the keys and walk out the door
I won't be stepping on this carpet no more
One last beat and a brassy sound
I'm leaving this prison underground
Yeah, I'm gone!
Bridge
No more memos, no more dread
No more voices inside my head
Just the rhythm and the walking beat
Freedom tastes so bittersweet!
Chorus
Pick up the keys and walk out the door
I won't be stepping on this carpet no more
One last beat and a brassy sound
I'm leaving this prison underground
Yeah, I'm gone!
