Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh
Why would you pay to see me in a cage?
And why would you pay to see me in a cage?
Some men call the stage

Listen now, I have gone
You will know
I was the only one that gladly died
What was wrong in the eyes of the unwell and unwise

They killed a man for his giro today
Oh, wasn't very gay, I didn't mind
I wasn't money-mad anyway
They killed a man for his giro today

Why, would you pay
Why, would you pay
See me in the cage
Which the whole world calls a stage

And know
When the night has come
You might say
I was not the only the one who would've died
What was wrong in the eyes of the cruel and unwise
And they killed a man for his giro today

On the off chance that you're listening
To the radio
I thought you might like to know you broke my heart

Can only saddle-up or hedge your bets
Or take a chance and never get to you again
All my ties, time and time again
Trying hard not to try too hard
When I forgive, I won't forget
To killing time, so I'm better now
Don't need it anymore
Anything that makes you feel hate
Can do without hate
Now I believe in love

Now I have gone
Oh yeah, I will pay
For everything you've done
What was wrong
In the eyes of the unwell and unwise
They killed a man for his giro today

Oh, oh, oh
