BIRDCAGE

Verse 1

I couldn?t be more tired
Of all the things that I?ve called love
I couldn?t be more wired
For what I know nothing of
?Cause all of my lovers were searching just like me
For someone less thirsty drinking water from the sea

Chorus

Tell me is there anything I have not tried?
All of the lows keep chasing the highs
The best and the brightest are so unhappy
So tell me once more,
Who is all the rage
On last week?s front page?
It?s at the bottom of my birdcage

Verse 2

We all want to be known
For someone to tell us who we are
We all feel alone?
Take down the mirror over the bar
Do you ever feel like an orphan wanting mail?
Do you miss things you?ve never known like a baby born in jail?

Chorus:

Tell me is there anything I have not tried?
All of the lows keep chasing the highs
The best and the brightest are so unhappy
So tell me once more,
Who is all the rage (on the big stage)
On last week?s front page? (taking up space)
It?s at the bottom of my birdcage

At the crossroads I wait
On the ramparts I stay
Wondering what he will say

(Repeat chorus)
