lyrics

I don’t want to be
Merely pushing your daisies
Somebody better put me in a birdcage
Where you can keep an eye on me

I don’t want to be
Bending down on my 2 knees
Just to have to fit into a birdcage
With which circumstance has fitted me

I don’t want to be
Fighting with you to feel free
Batting losing feathers in this birdcage
In which I am fated now to be

But I’m gonna dance with these curtains open
Looking through these bars into your brown eyes
So you can see how they keep me in a cage

Yeah I’m gonna dance with the curtains open
Gazing at stars, only birds can fly
On a cloudy day, when it’s about to rain

You don’t want to be
Simply looking after keys
You knew you put somewhere that fits a birdcage
In which love compels this bird to be

You don’t want to be
Stricken with some rare disease
Somebody better put you in a birdcage
Before you get designs to flee

I don’t want to be
But then it just occurs to me
Maybe love is only possible in birdcages
Incarcerations make you free

So I’m gonna dance with these curtains open
Taunting into rage, my executioner
So he will kill me fast, and with little pain

I’m gonna dance with the curtains open
Looking through these bars into your brown eyes
I can only love, inside your little cage.
