[Verse 1]
So hang my up from your rafters
Yeah, oh baby, peel me apart for the glow
Yeah oh keep me like a present
And display me so everyone knows
Yeah, and you can hang my poor skin from the rafters
And peel me apart for the glow
But, oh, I've got nowhere to go
Yeah this is the only jail I've known

[Chorus]
So it's out of the fire and into the flame
I'll stay a cage-bird the rest of my days
Yeah, baby, come along and go sell the farm
You know I'd always trade it in for a new coat of arms

[Verse 2]
So I say, why do you worry?
Yeah, why do you constantly ask
'When is the last day of school?'
Oh, today is the first day of class
And I know that you will be waiting
Yeah, I know you're that silly-old ass
That knows every task
And I won't be showing up last
[Chorus]
'Cause it's out of the fire and into the flame
Oh, I stay a cage-bird the rest of my days
Oh baby yeah come along let's go sell the farm
And go trade it in for a new coat of arms
