Birdcage Lyrics

Birdcage

So sad that you took it so badly
And acted so madly
So scared 
like a baby by the morning
with sunlight unfolding
Your eyes have turned red
And are holding me 
inside your story
In the end
you'll have started on a new one
Of anguish and delusions

He smiles 
just like a magician
Who's just cast his illusions
of castles and sandstones 
on the backbeach
And bright lights 
within your reach
The sounds 
of a warning 
by the morning
of hound dogs coming for me
With the ropes leading back to your knees
And you looking straight at me

On your knees in the rain 
with a basket of flowers 
just for me
As the bells in the trees up above 
all swung and rang softly
You said you rang them for me
For me
