Caged

I heard a songbird singing on my front door step
I never will forget
Didn't know nobody could whistle like that
And so I caught him
Made him my own little pet
Built him an apartment with a view
Popsicle sticks and Elmer's glue

Hear the sound of silence leaving
Little songbird gently singing

Watch the other birds fly away
Caged and broken I'm bound to stay
In this hell
My feathers dried and cracked from the glue
I'm never singing for you

Hear the sound
I used to spread my wings
Of silence leaving
Why did you build this prison?
Little song bird gently singing
Why can't you understand my desperate screaming?

Oh, don't even try to hold back
I will have everything I want
You'll understand in time that you're mine
So just sing your song
