Cages
Johnny L.
the one thing that I’ve grown to hate
is getting used to running late
i’ll make a useless vow
to get some sleep somehow
and if you ask me why i’m so
hard to pin down, i don’t know
cut me, and i’ll bleed
but i’ll eventually succeed
the keepers are all on strike for higher wages
not enough cages in this zoo
not enough hours in my day
not enough cages in this zoo
no wonder i don’t sleep most nights
once again the cage is bare
a tattered whip, an empty chair
and the echoes in my head
overpower what was said
the keepers have all on strike for higher wages
not enough cages in this zoo
not enough hours in my day
not enough cages in this zoo
no wonder i don’t sleep most nights
