Like a bird in a cage
I’d forgotten how to sing
I was lost in a rage
I was nearly broken
Hey

Like a bird in a cage
I’d forgotten how to sing
All alone on the stage
Drinking holy water
I pray

I was too loaded
Forever devoted
I’m taking it out on myself

I was delighted
The dearly departed
Was always so happy to fall
Into your arms
Into your arms

Like a bird in a cage
I’d forgotten how to sing
Now we’re turning the page
On a brand new story
You can’t hold me back
Don’t get me wrong
There’s nothing left here for me now
Hey

I was too loaded
Forever devoted
I’m taking it out on myself

I was delighted
The dearly departed
Was always so happy to fall
Into your arms
Into your arms

Like a bird in a cage
I’d forgotten how to sing
Like a bird in a cage

Bird In A Cage is the tenth track from Kasabian’s eighth studio album, Happenings.

“[Bird In A Cage] is me coming out of the last record and finding my feet… Coming out of that time” – Sergio Pizzorno, 2024
