Why would you pay to see me in a cage?

And why would you pay to see me in a cage?

Some men call a stage

Listen now I have gone

You will know

I was the only one that'd have gladly died

For what was wrong in the eyes of the unwell and unwise

They killed a man for his giro today

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?

And why, would you pay?

To see me in a cage

Which the whole world calls a stage

And know

When the night has come

You might say

I was not the only one who would've died

What was wrong in the eyes of the cruel and unwise

As 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 [?] on or hedge your bets

On a second chance I'll never get again

All my ties, time and time

I keep on trying hard not to try too hard

And I forgive but I won't forget

To killing time, so I'm better now

Don't need it anyhow

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
