Lyrics

I built a little love nest, we set it on fire

I created a love-filled space, but it ended in destruction

Down came the tree that held our desire

Our desire, represented by a tree, was destroyed

Now there's no one home on this broken branch

No one resides on the damaged foundation of our relationship

So I'm movin' on

Moving forward from the past


And I'm not done with these passionate chains

Expressing ongoing emotional entanglement

I'm draggin' them around town making such a sad sound, baby

Carrying the emotional burden around and attracting attention

You better look out mama 'cause I'm so strung out

Warning to be cautious due to intense emotional state

Swinging from these chains of love

Metaphorically hanging or swinging from the emotional attachment


I got a dirty little story if you really want to hear

Revealing a scandalous tale if the listener is interested

About a dirty little bird that used to come around here

Describing a questionable character who used to be present

But the booze dried up and the car won't start

Facing challenges like the absence of alcohol and transportation

So I'm movin' on

Moving on from difficulties


And I'm not done with these passionate chains

Continuing to grapple with intense emotions

And I'm draggin' them around town making such a sad sound, baby

Publicly displaying emotional struggles

You better look out mama 'cause I'm so strung out

Alerting someone about being emotionally overwhelmed

Swinging from these chains of love

Continuing to be entangled or hung up on love


Chains of love

Emphasizing the restricting nature of love

Keeping me from the ground

Love acting as a hindrance or obstacle

Chains of love

Reiterating the idea of being restrained by love

Swinging from these chains

Physically and emotionally suspended by the chains of love


I caught a little bird, I grabbed her and kissed her

Caught up in a romantic encounter, only to discover a surprise

Boy, was I surprised when I seen your sister

Encountering an unexpected connection to someone's sister

But when the sun goes down all cinnamon brown

Referring to the appearance of the sister at night

I'm movin' on

Choosing to move forward despite surprises


And I'm not done with these passionate chains

Persisting in dealing with intense emotions

And I'm draggin' them around town making such a sad sound, baby

Continuing to display emotional struggles in public

You better look out mama 'cause I'm so strung out

Warning about being emotionally overwhelmed

Swinging from these chains of love

Remaining entangled or hung up on love


Swinging from the chains of love

Reiterating the theme of being suspended by the chains of love

Swinging from the chains of love

Emphasizing the repetition of being hung up on love

Swinging from the chains of love

Continuing to be suspended by the chains of love

Swinging from the chains of love

Repeating the idea of being hung up on love

Swinging from the chains of love

Persistently suspended by the enduring chains of love
