Jackson Cage

Driving home she grabs something to eatTurns a corner and drives down her streetInto a row of houses she just melts awayLike the scenery in another man's playInto a house where the blinds are closedTo keep from seeing things she don't wanna knowShe pulls the blinds and looks out on the streetThe cool of the night takes the edge off the heatIn the Jackson CageDown in Jackson CageYou can try with all your mightBut you're reminded every nightThat you been judged and handed lifeDown in Jackson CageEvery day ends in wasted motionJust crossed swords on the killing floorTo settle back is to settle without knowingThe hard edge that you're settling forBecause there's always just one more dayAnd it's always gonna be that wayLittle girl you've been down here so longI can tell by the way that you move you belong toThe Jackson CageDown in Jackson CageAnd it don't matter just what you sayAre you tough enough to play the game they playOr will you just do your time and fade awayDown into the Jackson CageBaby there's nights when I dream of a better worldBut I wake up so downhearted girlI see you feeling so tired and confusedI wonder what it's worth to me or youJust waiting to see some sunNever knowing if that day will ever comeLeft alone standing out on the streetTill you become the hand that turns the key down inJackson CageDown in Jackson CageWell darlin' can you understandThe way that they will turn a manInto a stranger to waste awayDown in the Jackson Cage
