Like a bird in a cage
I'd forgotten how to sing
I was lost in a rage
I was nearly broken, hey
Yeah, hey-hey

Like a bird in a cage
I'd forgotten how to sing
All alone on the stage
Drinking holy water
I pray, hey
Yeah, hey-hey

I was too loaded
Forever devoted
I'm taking it out on myself
I was delighted
The dearly departed
Was always so happy to fall
Into your arms
Into your arms

Like a bird in a cage
I'd forgotten how to sing
Now we're turning the page
On a brand new story, yeah
You can't hold me back, don't get me wrong
There's nothing left here for me now, hey

I was too loaded
Forever devoted
I'm taking it out on myself
I was delighted
The dearly departed
Was always so happy to fall
Into your arms
Into your arms

Like a bird in a cage
I'd forgotten how to sing
Like a bird in a cage
