Lina's been here for years
She can't remember how it was before
Life is a TV Screen
She would never dare to ask for more
Soundless through the double glaze
She sees the jet plane
Fly away

Strange birds

Maggie on the coridor
On the circle of her endless race
Life is round the corner
She runs to catch it and she tries and tries
The ceiling is the sky
She jumps to touch it
And she's lucky at times

Strange birds

Birds in a cage
Strange birds
Cage birds

Medicine book Bob talking
He knows all about the meds they use
Life is a symptom
He tells you smiling that you win when you lose
Been in and out for years
He knows these places
And all the blacks and blues

Strange birds
Birds in a cage
Strange birds
Cage birds
