This day there's an underground river that none of us can seeAnd it flows through winding tunnels on its way to a tideless seaAnd across that sea is an island, a paradise we are toldWhere the toils of life are forgotten and they call it the island of soulsFor only a soul can go there, a soul that's been set freeAnd it flows through winding tunnels on its way to a tideless seaFrom the confines of our working life to find eternityThere are old men on a cage for his pigeonsBut that's really where he kept his soulAnd when he watched them fly, he would see himselfAt least that's how it was toldBut his soul was still trapped in the cage, sonWhile the birds they saw to the skyHe couldn't find his own way outAt least not till the day he diedOld man goes to the cage with the tools he's givenHis casket is sealed with a riveter's gunThe solitary madness is where he is drivenIt was him who was trapped in the soul cage, sonIt was him who was trapped in the soul cage, sonIt was him who was trapped in the soul cage, sonIt was him who was trapped in the soul cage, sonI know that he loved you, but he hadn't the wordsIt'd be easier speaking the language of birdsBut to speak of emotion, it just wasn't doneIt was him who was trapped in the soul cage, sonIt was him who was trapped in the soul cage, sonOur mind was a cage, sonIt was him who was trapped in the soul cage, sonHis casket is sealed with a riveter's gunThe solitary madness is where he is drivenIt was him who was trapped in the soul cage, sonIt was him who was trapped in the soul cage, sonIt was him who was trapped in the soul cage, sonHe took me there, but he is trapped in a hellIt's all he knows, it was all me, ohOh simplesmenteIt's all he knows, it's all me, ohAhyou
