Letra de Jackson Cage (Live at Wembley Arena, London, UK - 6/4/1981)
A one, two, three, four, one, twoDriving home, she grabs something to eat Turns a corner and drives down her street Into a row of houses, she just melts away Like the scenery in another man's play Into a house where the blinds are closed To keep from seeing things she don't wanna know She pulls the blinds and looks out on the street Where the cool of the night takes the edge off the heatIn the Jackson Cage Down in Jackson Cage And you can try with all your might But you're reminded every night That you've been judged and handed life Down in the Jackson CageEvery day ends in wasted motion Crossed swords on the killing floor You settle back and you settle without knowing The hard edge that you're settling for There's always just one more day And it's always gonna be that way Little girl, you've been down here so long I can tell by the way you move you belongTo the Jackson Cage Down in Jackson Cage And it don't matter just what you say Are you tough enough to play the game they play? Or will you just do your time and fade away Down into the Jackson Cage?There's nights when I dream of a better world But I wake up just downhearted, girl I see you feeling so tired and confused And I wonder what it's worth to me or you Just waiting to see some sun Never knowing if that day will ever come Left alone standing out on the street To you become the hand that turns the keyDown in Jackson Cage Down in Jackson Cage Now tell me, can you understand? The way that they will turn a man Into a stranger to waste away Down in the Jackson Cage
