The Cage
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Taupin
Have you ever lived in a cage
Where you live to be whipped and 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 and 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 break all the
bones in my body
On the bars you can never destroy
Repeat first verse
ELTON JOHN
