Nothing fell into the cage today
That's fastened to my door
I put the cage upon the door in case
You send your private thoughts to me
I know I have no right to be
The one to whom you might
I know I have no right

The little black brushes keep out the cold
And the inquiring eyes
Nothing slid it's way between them
My fantasies are painful now
Unnatural or so I'm told
I know I have no right to be forgiven for the tears
I'm getting through the day somehow
What will I do about the years

And I say

DO NOT FEED THE ANIMALS
Someone else can do that, darlin'
You don't need them animals
Throw me something please
I'm starving

Do not feed the animals
Someone else can do that, angel
You don't need them animals
I won't bite you if you try to
Reach into the cage

The phone rang eleven times today
None of them was you
I was exhausted by the end of the day
I know I have no right to be
The one to whom you might
So many animals in the zoo
Doo bee doo

DO NOT FEED THE ANIMALS
You don't need them animals
I won't bite you if you try to
Reach into the cage

Nothing fell into the cage today
Nothing
