Adrian Belew - Life Without A Cage

You used to feel free


You used to feel fine


Now you feel like a captive


In your very own mind





I hear you’ve been walking on eggs again


Perched on the edge of the lunatic fringe


You can’t flycan’t flyyou can’t fly away


You’re thinkin’ about life without a cage





What can I say to you


I’m in a different state


What can I offer you


I’m on another stage


What can I do for you?





I hear you’ve been dying in your living room


Chained to the furniturelooking for the door


You can’t movecan’t moveyou can’t move eternally


Still thinkin’ about life without a cage





You smile much lessyes


Invariably the verge of a frown


You sleep in all day


Hiding from your reasoning





You used to be free


Wellwhat can I say?
