jimmy buffett – pacing the cage lyrics
by: bruce c-ckburn
sunset is an angel weeping
holding out a bl–dy sword
no matter how i squint i cannot
make out what it’s pointing toward
sometimes you feel like youve lived too long
days drip slowly on the page
and you catch yourself
pacing the cage
ive proven who i am so many times
the magnetic strips worn thin
and each time i was someone else
and everyone was taken in
powers chatter in high places
stir up eddies in the dust of rage
set me to pacing the cage
i never knew what you all wanted
so i gave you everything
all that i could pillage
all the spells that i could sing
its as if the thing were written
in the const-tution of the age
sooner or later you’ll wind up
pacing the cage
sometimes the best map will not guide you
you can’t see what’s round the bend
sometimes the road leads through dark places
sometimes the darkness is your friend
today these eyes scan bleached-out land
for the coming of the outbound stage
pacing the cage
pacing the cage
