Songbird in a Cage - Charlotte Gainsbourg

Flying through the sky

All our senses reeling

Now you sit and cry

At the shadows on the ceiling

Songbird in a cage

Wings that never flutter

Once I saw a bird

Pecking in the gutter

Flying through the sky

All our senses reeling

Now you sit and cry

At the shadows on the ceiling

Songbird in a cage

Someone that takes pity

Opens up the door

Fly above the city

Someone still may come

Someone who takes pity

And through an open door

You may fly above the city

Songbird in a cage

Stars will still be shining

Through the bars of steel

Picture how it was

Flying through the sky

All our senses reeling

Now you sit and cry

At the shadows on the ceiling

Flying through the sky

All our senses reeling

Now you sit and cry

At the shadows on the ceiling
