Lyrics
Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh Oh, oh, oh Why would you pay to see me in a cage? And why would you pay to see me in a cage? Some men call the stage Listen now, I have gone You will know I was the only one that gladly died
What was wrong in the eyes of the unwell and unwise They killed a man for his giro today Oh, wasn't very gay, I didn't mind I wasn't money-mad anyway They killed a man for his giro today Why, would you pay Why, would you pay See me in the cage
Which the whole world calls a stage And know When the night has come You might say I was not the only the one who would've died What was wrong in the eyes of the cruel and unwise And they killed a man for his giro today On the off chance that you're listening
To the radio I thought you might like to know you broke my heart Can only saddle-up or hedge your bets Or take a chance and never get to you again All my ties, time and time again Trying hard not to try too hard When I forgive, I won't forget To killing time, so I'm better now
Don't need it anymore Anything that makes you feel hate Can do without hate Now I believe in love Now I have gone Oh yeah, I will pay For everything you've done What was wrong In the eyes of the unwell and unwise They killed a man for his giro today Oh, oh, oh
