| THE
CAGE
by Pistol Pete Midtgard
Should
I ask forgiveness one more time?
Say I'm sorry, but I know, that it ain't worth
a dime
Or should I sit here looking dumb
Feeling like a drunken bum
After all, what's one more day in the cage?
Should
I call my family - and say hello?
Tell them that I'm still alive, they just might
like to know
But then they might bring up my past
So to them I'll just raise a glass
After all, what's one more day in the cage?
Chorus:
I don't really mind it, in this cage
I got all my friends - denial, self-pity, depression,
shame and rage
How could I leave? I know I'd lose my mind
Riding on a wagon, filled with all the wreckage
I've left behind
Is
it finally time I went away?
Look the devil in the eye, and finally disobey
But it's so painful when I think
So maybe I'll just have a drink
After all, what's one more day in the cage?
Chorus
Well,
you know, I should get off this circus ride
Stop torturing you all with this coward's suicide
But I've never been the bravest man
So bottoms-up is still the plan
After all, what's one more day in the cage?
Chorus
Now,
if you ain't been in there, you'll never understand
You can be locked up in a cage, and have the keys
right in your hand.
