The song The Cage is performed by Elton John in the album named Elton John in the year 1996 .
Have you ever lived in a cage?
Where you live to be whipped and be tamed
For I've never loved in a cage
Or talked to a friend or just waved
Well I walk while they talk about virtue
Just raised on my back legs and snarled
Watched you kiss your old daddy with pa*sion
And tell dirty jokes as he died
I'm damned when I really care there
For the cellar's the room in your lives
Where you lace yourself with bad whiskey
And close the cage doors on your life
Well I pray while you bathe in bad water
Sing songs that I learnt as a boy
Then break all the bones in my body
On the bars you can never destroy
Have you ever lived in a cage?
Where you live to be whipped and be tamed
For I've never loved in a cage
Or talked to a friend or just waved
