The Cage Lyrics by Elton John
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Have you ever lived in a cage
Where you live to be whipped and be tamed
For I've never loved in a cage
Or talked to a friend or just waved

Well I walk while they talk about virtue
Just raised on my back legs and snarled
Watched you kiss your old daddy with passion
And tell dirty jokes as he died

But I'm damned when I really care there
For the cellar's the room in your lives
Where you lace yourself with bad whiskey
And close the cage doors on your life

Well I pray while you bathe in bad water
Sing songs that I learnt as a boy
Then breaks all the bones in my body
On the bars you can never destroy
Have you ever lived in a cage   Where you live to be whipped and be tamed   For I've never loved in a cage   Or talked to a friend or just waved      Well I walk while they talk about virtue   Just raised on my back legs and snarled   Watched you kiss your old daddy with passion   And tell dirty jokes as he died      But I'm damned when I really care there   For the cellar's the room in your lives   Where you lace yourself with bad whiskey   And close the cage doors on your life      Well I pray while you bathe in bad water   Sing songs that I learnt as a boy   Then breaks all the bones in my body   On the bars you can never destroy
