Broad-shouldered beasts fill the sky
Manhattan beats at the night
But you are wrapped up in wire
Curled up in frightSo I took you to the city for the night
To dance under dizzy silver lights
But for a moment, you were wild
With abandon like a child, just a momentBut wasn't it you who said I was not free
And wasn't it you who said I needed peace
And now it's you who's floored by fear of it allAnd it's alright
Take it out on me
And it's alright
Take it out on meThese apartment walls are paper thin
And no one is trying to listen in
What to hear our doubts
Hear our whispered shouts, they don't careWasn't it you who said I was not free
Wasn't it you who said I needed peace
And now it's you who's floored by fear of it allAnd it's alright
Take it out on me
And it's alright
Take it out on meBut when you feel the world wrapping 'round your neck
Feel my hand 'round yours
And when you feel the world wrapping 'round your neck
Don't succumbBut it's alright
Take it out on meAnd it's alright
Take it out on me
And it's alright
Take it out on me
