Cage Bird Lyrics

This Way To The Egress Cage Bird

Went down to the corner store
Looking to pass the time
I've been so damned lonely since you haven't been by my side
It's a 1001 old cliches, the old catch 22
A girl like me's damned if I don't damned if I do
I need a little 'oo la lala la oo la lala la'
If you're not gonna stick around, then get outta the way

So now it is your turn babe why don't ya whisper in my ear
1001 old cliches that are keeping my ass here

I have got a ticket for that loyal old greyhound
If you don't shape on up this ass is leaving town
I need a little 'ooo la lala la ooo la lala la'
If you're not gonna stick around, then get outta the way

So now it is my turn babe and herе's what I gotta say
What goes up must come down or at least it looks that way
All of thosе old cliches don't mean a goddamned thing
'cos at the end of the day I know why that caged bird sings
It needs a little 'ooo la lala la ooo la lalal la'
I know why the caged bird crows
