Kept in a cage Full of poison snakes Until I knew my name I was let out at night Eyes almost blind They let me keep what I could find
I apologize But I sail with the tide I apologize But I sail with the tide
Bent over back Got on the attack Tried to throw my weight around Now I'm gone off the rails To uncertain ways In the end I dared to say
I apologize But I sail with the tide I apologize But I sail with the tide
Well I tried all my tricks Couldn't none of 'em fix us Oh, now what a drag I sail with the wind On the wings of ideas I fly with my mind Up to higher ideals When you break from your cage Full of snakes and despair Close your eyes in the breeze And I'll meet you there...
