RATTLE MY CAGE
Once I was free
All who saw me
From my presence fled
Those days are behind me
Now you’ve confined me
But at least I am well fed
With stripes on my back
Feel your whip crack
Give in to your demand
With hoops that are flaming
You think you are taming
This beast to your command
You use your spells and devices on me
To dispel my rage
But I still rail at the heavens when you
When you rattle my cage
Dressed up in leather
Think you’re so clever
Mesmerizing with your charm
See your lips moving
Aurally soothing
And it feels so soft and warm
Change of position
Begging permission
Anticipating your surprise
When what was concealed
True motives revealed
Submission a clever disguise
It’s all been nothing more than a charade
An act for the stage
Now we’ll see who’s staring out the bars the next time
That you rattle my
You rattle my
You rattle my
My cage
