This is the first breath since the rain
This is the toaster down the drain
This is the first draft, written again
This is the chorus, please refrain
Yeah
The cage has been opened
But broken the wing
The songbird is dying
He don't wanna sing
He don't wanna sing
Yeah, yeah
This is the ship that swallowed the sea
This is the boatman, collecting his fee
This is the casket, and this is the key
This is the root that poisoned the tree
Yeah
The cage has been opened
But broken the wing
The songbird is dying
He don't wanna sing
He don't wanna sing
Yeah, yeah
This is gap, mind the train
This is the heart that swallowed the brain
This is carrot and this is the cane
This is the first breath since the rain
Yeah
The cage has been opened
But broken the wing
The songbird is dying, dying
He don't wanna sing
He don't wanna sing
The cage has been opened
But broken the wing
The songbird is dying
He don't wanna sing
He don't wanna sing
Yeah, yeah
