A cage of my own
This cage is my home
And oh so alone
am I
From above
all around
helpless to the sound
of my brother's cry
Just leave us alone
We don't want to moan
Only if you make us
Smashed on the lock
until I've had to
drop
Tried to get
my message through
Off goes another
with another's brother
My arms try to bend
across to a friend
You can't burn me
with your laser beam
It's pointed at you
and tomorrow's dream
You'll burn my body
Quietly set free
And I'll cry for you
as I sway from my tree
I'd give you my brain
Nothing you would gain
Its misery
seeps from you
When leaving my cage
I am in a rage
because I know
what you're up to
When you walk away
remember next day
not a second I've
slept awake
I'll have kept
When I reappear
don't look on in fear
My hands could kill
but they never will
You can't burn me
with your laser beam
It's pointed at you
and tomorrow's dream
You'll burn my body
Quietly set free
And I'll cry for you
as I sway from my tree
