lyrics

CAGED BIRD

Spending my whole life inside a palace, you know
It sounds like such a funny thing to say
And I guess that I don't bear them any malice, you know
I'm safe from all the world at least today
But I've read of distant places on the print beneath my perch
And I'd like to see new faces, take a peek what could it hurt?

Someone let the caged bird out the door
Now that I've learned all the words I'd like to know the score
Now I know the map so well I’ll try the countryside
Someone let the caged bird go outside

Tweet tweet tweet yeah!

Sometimes I feel like a dancing monkey, you know
They call me out to show me off for fun
And while Im turning heads I'm just a flunky, you know
Worried bout the next new thing to come
See I've learned to speak the language I can do a few good tricks
No my life is not all anguish but this can't be all there is!

Someone let the caged bird out the door
Now that I've learned all the words I'd like to know the score
Now I know the map so well I’ll try the countryside
Someone let the caged bird go outside

Every evening when the curtain falls I am not afraid
But every morning from this gilded stall yes I'd like to fly far away

Wish I was a Cowboy or a Sailor, you know
To try the many things I’ve never had
And despite a happy home and friendly jailor, you know
I find myself a little more than sad
Like a photo in a locket that no one really sees
Is that key there in your pocket? Won’t you come set me free

Someone let the caged bird out the door
Now that I've learned all the words I'd like to know the score
Now I know the map so well I’ll try the countryside
Someone let the caged bird go outside
