Alabama 3 - Let The Caged Bird Sing lyrics

He had the hands of a missionary She had the body of a nun And in the fumblings of their union They found the key to kingdom come He bought her a bird in a silver cage For blessed company 'Cause he knew one day they're gonna lock the door And throw away the key So blow out the candles Mornings moving in Flowers bloom on alcatraz now Let the caged bird sing yeh Let the caged bird sing Let the caged bird sing yeh Let the caged bird sing The church they call 'em anarchists Cla** war they call 'em saints When they lost the plot they kept moving Lookin for heavens gates They stole a car and got as far As the motel on Damascus road When the TV screen blew back their dreams When the cathode ray exploded So blow out the candles Mornings moving in Flowers bloom on alcatraz now Let the caged bird sing yeh Let the caged bird sing Let the caged bird sing yeh Let the caged bird sing Rimbaud left his soul behind Leavin ghosts surveyin the scene Movin from light to the dead of night Just to keep his cold heart clean And the prisonaires from the sprawling slums Saw a new day movin in Not baton charge from the ruling guards Could stop the caged bird singin So blow out the candles Mornings moving in Flowers bloom on alcatraz now Let the caged bird sing yeh Let the caged bird sing Let the caged bird sing yeh Let the caged bird sing
