Track 8

The bird is in the birdcage
Oh the cruelest fate
to take for your delight
his gift of flight away

A lover with no love life
A groom kept from his bride
just beyond the walls and prison bars
that hold him tightly bye and bye

Is there ever any wonder why
the caged bird cries?

He retreats like frost in sunlight
Melts like wax beneath the flame
A kindly dog when cornered bites
He must be caged if he can't be tamed
(if he can't, if he can't, if can't be tamed)
If he can't, if he can't be tamed
(if he can't, if he can't, if can't be trained)
He must be caged if he can't be tamed (if he can't, if he can't be, if he can't be - if he can't, if he can't...)
If he can't, if he can't be tamed
(if he can't be x4)

The hatter's in the mad house
Must you the beast arouse?
The mercury will rise and burn his mind
by his delusion he's confined
Who could ever know what oddities he
hold inside?
