Man In A Cage

(album: Once In A Blue Moon - 1993)

What does it take
to stand for my pride
in a building of glass
But I'm still throwing stones inside

Man in a cage
A perfect place of perfect isolation
A heart full of pain
A door that leads to desperation
How could I forget we keep on playing different games
And I exit the stage
feeling like a puppet retired from the hands of fate

Why do I hesitate
Why can't I break free
And why do I still believe
this cage was made for you and me

What does it take
to live a life of perfect isolation
And what will remain
on the road to desperation
How could I pretend this life was only made for me
and nobody else
Stepping in my cage to free me from my chains

Why do I hesitate
Why can't I break free
And why do I still believe
this cage was made for you and me
It's made for you and me

Man in a cage
I'm living in my room
Why won't you see that I'm engaged
