 E
Let me loose, I just got back
A
I was pushed and I got dragged
   D             Bm7
I tasted mud, I tasted wine
      A
I've kissed the life I've left behind
    A
So say I choose to stick around
D
I've got news for this here town
   Bm7              D
I kick the ball, I catch the bus
     A
And raise the roof for all of us

 B          F#
Destination anywhere
 C#m             E
So far gone, I'm almost there
 B               F#
Can't you see I can't deny
    C#m              E
I'm out of here like I'm on fire

Chorus:
 A
Living like a caged-up animal, criminal
 D
Television newsman so subliminal
  G                D              A
Bringing down the walls of wonderland
 A
Just another highbrow cowboy telling me
D
Everything and everyone and all the things I ought to be
 G               D          A
Here I am, your demolition man

Steal your car and leave a wreck
Kiss your bride, I cash your check
And Tyson plus I'm ripped and torn
Been on the edge since I was born
I kick the jukebox, change the tune
I break the bank and jump the moon
I sink the fleet to catch a buzz
And raise a glass for all of us

Destination anywhere
So far gone, I'm almost there
Can't you see I can't deny
I'm out of here like I'm on fire

Chorus

       E                     B/D#
I'm a beast in space, I'm an acid taste
        D                    A/C#
I'm a primitive gong stuffed in your face
E                B/D#              D
It's enough to bring you to your knees

Chorus - x2
