A cage of my own, this cage is my home And oh, so alone am I From above all around helpless to the sound Of my brother's cry Just leave us alone, we don't want to moan Only if you make us Smashed on the lock until I've had to drop Tried to get my message through Off goes another with another's brother My arms try to bend across to a friend You can't burn me with your laser beam It's pointed at you and tomorrow's dream You'll burn my body, quietly set free And I'll cry for you as I sway from my tree
I'd give you my brain nothing you would gain Its misery seeps from you When leaving my cage I am in a rage Because I know what you're up to When you walk away remember next day Not a second, I've slept awake, I'll have kept When I reappear, don't look on in fear My hands could k**, but they never will You can't burn me with your laser beam It's pointed at you and tomorrow's dream You'll burn my body, quietly set free And I'll cry for you as I sway from my tree
