Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I tried to make a break, what a fool
I should've known, I never listen
I'm in a cage, an animal, I'm in a cage
[Verse 2]
But the reptiles
They won't let me go
I think they want you to stray
[Verse 3]
Watch the monkey dance, give 'em a taste
Look at him, he's always smiling
Help to escape, your mouth agape, you foreign tourist
[Verse 4]
Woe is me, it will be a funeral
A circus, I'll rap on the cell door
[Verse 5]
Questions are a fire
That needs feeding to survive
So just you let those flames die down
[Verse 6]
Trained by consequence and the lash
It leaves me breathless
Their praise is a poison to us all
[Verse 7]
In the moonlight, their scars flash like jewelry
Get too precious
Get locked up in a cage
[Verse 8]
Want to get, gotta risk any move
Misconstrued and you're screwed
Tongues flash and flick as if they're screaming
[Verse 9]
Oh, they lie just like a lover
Oh, do they, those kisses will burn
[Verse 10]
Under the lights
They snap a finger
You jump, you answer
Like a naive hooker with a big dumb smile
[Verse 11]
It's the reptiles
I guess you'll never know
They won't let you go
'Cause you're the soup du'jour, that's for sure
[Verse 12]
Questions are a fire
That needs feeding to survive
So just you let those flames die down
[Verse 13]
See them reptiles crawl
Getting closer
Why won't someone come to drive them away?
[Verse 14]
Don't rest too long
It's a mistake we can't take back
Take one lying down for a change
[Verse 15]
And, oh, it's like cleaning up after an orgy
When it's over
I wish someone would burn this place
To the ground
