We were talking
While driving at night
Talking about freedom
Freedom in golden cages
Illusions, some call them dreams
Someone said, "Do the words make a difference?"
She said, "Never underestimate your soul."
We took to the highway in a car full of dreams
[Chorus]
You bought your freedom
In golden cages
Some people call dreams
You bought your freedom
In golden cages
Some people call dreams
If you strip everything away
What are you left with?
You're left with nothing
If you took away your big black cat
Would there be anything at all?
Your hats and furs and diamond rings
Don't mean a thing
And those chains you got around your neck
They're just pulling you down
Walk naked to me
Walk naked to me
Walk naked to me
[Chorus: x2]
