Translation
Bilingual
I must have had some strange idea
That the earth was a friendly place
That I could go from here to there
Because I was some special case
I had this picture of something beautiful
But it was not the real thing
The real world flew in pieces around my head
Until one of them began to sing
Then all of a sudden I realized
There was a bird in that cage
While I was planning a break out
There was a bird in that cage
All my amateur witchcraft that failed me
It flew back into my face
Then all of a sudden I realized
There was a bird in that cage
I thought I'd try to escape my bonds
And I'd get out there so far
Then I discovered a bird and she gave me the word
"Man, you don't know where you are"
She said, "You can't believe what is written
Just from the size of a page"
And when I heard that voice I realized
There was a bird in that cage
Then she told me that the smallest parts
Of the universe are still unknown
And how long can you last when you're going as fast
As you can possibly go
All of a sudden I realized
There was a bird in that cage
While I was planning a break out
There was a bird in that cage
All my amateur witchcraft that failed me
It flew back into my face
Then all of a sudden I realized
There was a bird in that cage
Oh, all of a sudden I realized
There was a bird in that cage
While I was planning a break out
There was a bird in that cage
She sang that I was born in the true vine
Not a ladder into outer space
Oh, all of a sudden I realized
There was a bird in that cage
There was a bird in that cage
There was a bird in that cage
