Over His Head

In a cage it stays the same

It doesn't bite, it takes the blame

It doesn't know what's happening

It never knows what's happening



Throw a blanket on the cage

When it's night, it's hard to gauge

It doesn't know what's happening

It never knows what's happening



Eyes are closed, the smell of fear

What is seen is all you hear

Couldn't see what's beckoning

Couldn't hear the reckoning



In a corner set a trap

Getting caught the lines were tapped

Couldn't see what's beckoning

Suddenly a reckoning



He's in over his head...



Put a mirror in the cage

It's just another game we play

It doesn't know what's happening

It never knows what's happening



Bite the hand that feeds the bark

Affidavit after dark

It doesn't know what's happening

It never knew what's happening



He's in over his head...



One to spare and one to save

The taking back of what you gave

One to stare and one to gaze

The best of times, the worst of days

In the range but out of phase

The best of days will come again, again...
