Nothing fell into the cage today

That's fastened to my door

I put the cage upon the door in case

You send your private thoughts to me

I know I have no right to be

The one to whom you might

I know I have no right



The little black brushes keep out the cold

And the inquiring eyes

Nothing slid it's way between them

My fantasies are painful now

Unnatural .. or so I'm told

I know I have no right to be forgiven for the tears

I'm getting through the day somehow

What will I do about the years



And I say...



DO NOT FEED THE ANIMALS

Someone else can do that, darlin'

You don't need them animals

Throw me something please

I'm starving



Do not feed the animals

Someone else can do that, angel

You don't need them animals

I won't bite you if you try to

Reach into the cage



The phone rang eleven times today

None of them was you

I was exhausted by the end of the day

I know I have no right to be

The one to whom you might

So many animals in the zoo

Doo bee doo.....



DO NOT FEED THE ANIMALS

You don't need them animals

I won't bite you if you try to

Reach into the cage



Nothing fell into the cage today

Nothing
