Artist/Band: Old 97s
Lyrics for Song: Bird In A Cage
Lyrics for Album: Satellite Rides [2001]



I left you last night on the left coast

I'm writin' you a letter right now

The things that you do are rendering you

Something I can't live without



Maybe maybe I've got a pulse now

Maybe my heart's on fire

A bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage

Is worth a bird on a telephone wire



Left you last night on the left side

The land of the free to be burned

Well the heat of your touch is makin' it such

That I've forgotten everything I've learned



Maybe maybe I've got a problem

Maybe my heart's a liar

A bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage

Is worth a bird on a telephone wire



Yeah a bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage

Is worth a bird on a telephone wire



And I may be a bird in a cage

But it least it's your cage

And I may be a bird in a cage

But it least it's your cage



Left you last night on the left half

Of the bed, the half that used to be mine

The way that you sleep is the image I'll keep

Always on the edge of my mind



Maybe maybe I've got a reason

For livin' even though I'm so tired

A bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage

Is worth a bird on a telephone wire



A bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage

Is worth a bird on a telephone wire



And I may be a bird in a cage

But it least it's your cage

And I may be a bird in a cage

But it least it's your cage



Maybe maybe you are the only

One my heart's desired

A bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage

Is worth a bird on a telephone wire



A bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage

Is worth a bird on a telephone wire



A bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage

Is worth a bird on a telephone wire


Bird In A Cage - Old 97s

Old 97s delivers a gritty, Southern rock anthem on 'Satellite Rides,' blending their signature blend of bluesy riffs with a driving, rhythmic intensity. The track exemplifies the band's ability to craft high-energy performances that capture the raw spirit of the 1990s garage rock revival. With its powerful vocals and unpolished, authentic sound, the recording stands as a testament to their commitment to live, visceral music. This song remains a staple of their discography, reflecting the era's DIY ethos and the enduring appeal of their unpretentious approach to Southern rock.
