lyrics

I don't care whether you want to listen: one step off, one step off. All the world's a cage; now how did that happen? "Bad heart, bad heart, soothe your cravings." Every three days, I have to check my savings. I got big news, and you're not going to believe it. First, you have to promise you can keep a secret. The sun goes up, and the sun goes down again. Now I'm the only one awake on this side of town again. Nowadays, I see how our words are cages, and it doesn't help to look at time in stages.
