Birdcage - Lyrics by The Wallflowers


Lyrics
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
