The Cage
Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album elton john
Have you ever lived in a cage
Where you live to be whipped & be tamed
For i've never loved in a cage
Or talked to a friend or just waved
Well i walk while they talk about virtue
Just raised on my back legs & snarled
Watched you kiss your old daddy with passion
And tell dirty jokes as he died
But i'm damned when i really care there
For the cellar's the room in your lives
Where you lace yourself with bad whiskey
And close the cage doors on your life
Well i pray while you bathe in bad water
Sing songs that i learnt as a boy
Then breaks all the bones in my body
On the bars you can never destroy
