lyrics

fences, pretenses
moral apprehension i got
too long to stand here
and think about my sentence

the neighbor with the camera is staring at me
here are all the things, i think should be

i try to pick the lock but the lock rusts over
and the chain link fence won’t budge like last september
the pup is going crazy cos she can’t run off
i’m so tired and lazy, and i just have to scoff about

all the little things that keep us in
mary goes round-round, with her mickey finn
and i only get to hop and slam my knee
i might as well be here for eternity

fenced in love
i think i'm going crazy
fenced in love
my knife is oh so hazy
fenced in love
break in break out

the chorus ends and i think i see an opening
but there’s another verse just like i was hoping
and i guess we’ll think about the things that ground us
like humility, tranquility, and a need to readjust

and the only other cats that roam the street
all slithered under when they felt the heat
“cause if you can’t beat em join em!”
is what they said
they tried to hop the fence and now they’re

fenced in love
i think i'm going crazy
fenced in love
my knife is oh so hazy
fenced in love
break in break out

fenced in love
these critters crawling and it’s
fenced in love
i stand forestalling but it’s
fenced in love
it might be too late
