"Break Away" lyrics
"Break Away"
Sprinkle broken mirror glass
All around my bed
You poured goofer dust, baby
All in my head
You spoke with the spirits
Beneath the full moon
You promised them your soul
If they'd make me yours soon
But I'm gonna break away
I'm strong enough to break away
And you can't make me stay
I'm gonna break away
You went to see Madame Rouge
One morning, 'fore the break of day
You came back with two roosters
Some herb, and some wicked words to sing
You sacrificed the roosters
Mixed them herbs up real fine
Sprinkle yourself with rooster blood
And said, "I declare that man gon' be mine"
But I'm gonna break away
I'm strong enough to break away
Can't make me stay
I'm gonna break away
You took some never-leave-me lotion
And poured it in my bag
You put a pint of stay-put powder in my shoes
So I'd always cross your path
But the one thing you hadn't counted on
Became the ruin of you
Yeah, I watched you when you was doing it, now
I can do it too
And I'm gonna break away
I'm strong enough to break away
You can't make me stay
I'm gonna break away
Hey, I'm gonna break away, yeah
You, you can't make me stay
Now, no, no, no, no
I'm gonna break away
Girl, no, you can't, you can't make me stay, no
Oh, here I come, baby
Here I, here I come baby, yeah

One train's me, and...
