The Cage

How are you going to make it?
When the train has left the station
If you have the will to change it
You can find me right outside your door
In my shoes made of dirt and my shirt
Wrapped around this coloured glass,
And you'll dream what I've seen
But you'll never get to me
The walls are higher than they seem
Talk it over with yourself
And see if someone will reply
But you'll never get to me

It's not a promise if you break it
You couldn't meet their expectations
How are you going to tell them?
I'm the cage that we share, everywhere
Spun around you every day until you die
And you can try, but you'll never get to me
The wall is as high as you can see
And I'm never coming down, coming down
We get along so famously
I listen to your jokes
Falling on their nose
The world just loves a clown
Smiling as he drowns.

From your joys to the blues
Anyway that you choose
You were always a loser you know it
And we
We'll get together you and me
And the dream that you were chasing
Was the vision of a fool
That you'll never get to see
That you'll never get to meet.
