lyrics

She's only a bird in a gilded cage
A beautiful sight to see
You may think she's happy and free from care
She's not though she seems to be
It's sad when you think of her wasted life
For youth cannot mate with age
She's only a bird in a gilded cage
A bird in a gilded cage

In a faint breath
Agedness comes to haunt
Slipping down the back of her neck
And dripping into daydreams
Slowly ripping away the seams

And until death
Do we part
But before death we fall apart
As our bodies fail
And our minds fail
Will our love fail?
Will our love fail?

She's only a bird in a gilded cage
A beautiful sight to see
You may think she's happy and free from care
She's not though she seems to be

She was ageless
In a cage left to herself
For the ages
And all but bereft of help
Save for the wing of a golden age of wealth

Through needles and tears and scars
And years behind gilded bars
Her smile turns so bizarre
As her body fails
And her mind fails
And our love...
And our love…
The flame prevails

She's only a bird in a gilded cage
A beautiful sight to see
You may think she's happy and free from care
She's not though she seems to be
It's sad when you think of her wasted life
For youth cannot mate with age
She's only a bird in a gilded cage
A bird in a gilded cage
