Music by Elton JohnLyrics by Bernie TaupinAvailable on the album Elton JohnHave you ever lived in a cageWhere you live to be whipped and be tamedFor I've never loved in a cageOr talked to a friend or just wavedWell I walk while they talk about virtueJust raised on my back legs and snarledWatched you kiss your old daddy with passionAnd tell dirty jokes as he diedBut I'm damned when I really care thereFor the cellar's the room in your livesWhere you lace yourself with bad whiskeyAnd close the cage doors on your lifeWell I pray while you bathe in bad waterSing songs that I learnt as a boyThen breaks all the bones in my body
