  • I was born in a house of glass and silver floors
    There were so many people wearing masks
    One question with two answers I asked
    I was born in a house of glass and silver floors
    There were so many people wearing masks
    One question with two answers I asked

    Anywhere is better than here, away from you
    Breed me, breed me, give me away
    Lie to me, you lie to me, give me away, oh

    What do you say?
    Just you and I,
    South on the five
    For a couple of days?
    You take your car,
    I'll take my bag
    You take the wheel,
    I'll gather money for gas

    Anywhere is better than here, away from you
    Breed me, breed me, give me away
    Lie to me, you lie to me, give me away, oh

    Danny, oh Danny, oh Danny, Danny
    Danny, yeah Danny, oh Danny, Danny

    I was born to be given away
    Breed me, breed me, give me away
    Lie to me, you lie to me, give me away, oh

    They told me:
    A little boy who had been wearing my face
    Had told me I was born to be given away Writer/s: DEREK ALAN BLOOM, MATT GOOD, SONNY MOORE, TRAVIS BRANDON RICHTER
