This song started as a kind of break up song between a dog and her/his owner. It's written from the dog's perspective of course. I was thinking about how a fairly large percentage of dogs seem to ALWAYS be trying to break out and run away. Have you ever stopped to ask why this is so? Maybe they're just really unhappy.
I never thought a song about a dog could feel so... human.

oh this house is a prison
I'm gonna break out
I've been making my plan
I'm gonna break out
it's a big, big world
and I can't stay here
I hope I don't sound
too severe
but this house is a prison
I'm gonna break out…
when I first came here
everything was great
but in a couple of years
I started going insane
we could have seen the big big world
together
you said, "never say never"
and I believed you
oh this house is a prison
I'm gonna break out
I've been making my plan
I'm gonna break out
it's a big, big world
and I can't stay here
I hope I don't sound
too severe
this house is a prison
I'm gonna break out…
oh I waited for years
for you to come around
maybe take me out
but you never did
I want you to know
you've been good to me
but when it's time to go
that's all you can see
it tears my heart right out
to leave you
I never wanted to deceive you
but you won't let me go
oh this house is a prison
I'm gonna break out
I've been making my plan
I'm gonna break out
it's a big, big world
and I can't stay here
I hope I don't sound
too severe
this house is a prison
this house is a prison
this house is a prison
I'm gonna break out…

Lived with a Husky like that once- Moondrop. Brilliant escape artist; the yard was never enough for him. He'd run around for 2, maybe 3 days, then find the dog catcher's truck for a free taxi ride home. He'd howl along with you on this one, I think.
I love the photo!
