Cage The Songbird Lyrics - Blue Moves - Elton John

Sober in the mornin' light 

Things look so much different 

To how they looked last night 

A pale face pressed to an unmade bed 

Like flags of many nations 

Flyin' high above her head 

The cellophane still on the flowers 

The telegram still in her hand 

As whispers circulate all day 

Their back-stage baby princess passed away

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

And you can cage the songbird 

But you can't make her sing 

And you can trap the free bird 

But you'll have to clip her wings 

'Cause she'll soar like a hawk when she flies 

But she'll dive like an eagle when she dies 

Promises of no more lies 

Fell flat upon an empty stage 

Before the audience arrived 

A return in time to the cheaper seats 

She never knew what lay beneath 

Just a dated handbill they found between the sheets 

Let down before the final curtain 

A shallow heart that left her cold 

She left in rouge upon the mirror 

A circled kiss oh, to the faithful fans who'd miss her 

And you can cage the songbird 

But you can't make her sing 

And you can trap the free bird 

But you'll have to clip her wings 

'Cause she'll soar like a hawk when she flies 

But she'll dive like an eagle when she dies
