Jailbird

Do you dream like a baby jailbird? (sitting in a cage)

Do you only know your own world

Do you wonder at your wings, do you wonder at your wings?

Can you follow where the wind blows

In these everlasting limbos that never give you up

But never give enough

Chorus:

She shakes the cage, she shakes the cage (i'm overcome, i'm overthrown)

She dares the jaded heart to hope again (she bends back the bars and calls me home)

She breaks the chains, she breaks the chains (i'm overcome, i'm overthrown)

She calls the faded dream to wake and stirred up the hurricanes of change (of change)

She's woken a dream from slumber

Shes broken the spell i'm under

I laid a loyal kiss upon the hand of risk

But nothing will feed the hunger and so

The hunted becomes the hunter

The bird upon the wire, with the belly full of fire

(chorus)

Well i bit the hand that fed me and it closed into a fist

But this damn job was paying peanuts, i was feeling like a monkey in a zoo (a monkey in a zoo)

The safety of monotony had put the blinkers on, the bait of mediocrity and hook, line sinker i'd been caught (baby we'd been caught)
