Rayman, Allan - The Bird & The Cage Lyrics






[*Applause*]
[*Seagulls & Waves*]
[*Phone ringing*]
[*Thunderstorm*]

[Allan:] Yeah
[Girl:] Allan, where are you?
[Allan:] I had to go for a drive. Just need some space. I don't get it, you wanted me like this, you wanted me this way
[Girl:] No. I don't know how to have you like this. Allan, everything that happened in the last 3 weeks, I don't remember any of it. I sound crazy, but it's true. You have to believe me. Something happened to me... to us...
[Allan:] All I want in this world are you and my music, you know that. You really scared the hell out of me today. Look, I'll be home late tonight. Just need some time is all
[Girl:] Allan, wai-

He can't be loved right now, no
He can't be loved right now, no

Well he woke up like this
Oh, carefree, he's careless
He take after his momma
I know he hears voices
Well listen to them talk
It's power
Well driven by these motives, he can't even understand
He sees ears, they see albums
Start a fire, row 22
In the woods, late, [?]
One song, new lyric
One face, two voices, amen
Now he follows them, well now he's listening
Now he's listening, got 'em all listening
One face, two voices, amen, amen

We're best alone
He can't be loved right now
We're better alone
He can't be loved right now, no
We're best along
Can't be loved right now
We're better alone
He can't be loved right now, no

Well, I'm alive and well
With only five years I've slept
My body's strong and still
After all the tears we wept, oh
I will listen to your words out
It's power
And take a bite from the apple
Second thought, eat the whole damn thing while I slither
I'm helping you, can't you see that?
I'm tryna finish what you started that you wouldn't have the strength to finish even if you got it
Oh, I know that
That's how this world works
Feel me, man
Work with me Allan

We're best alone
He can't be loved right now
We're better alone
He can't be loved right now, no
We're best along
Can't be loved right now
We're better alone

[*Applause, door slam*]
Not now...
Shut up, shut up, not now
Allan
Shut up
Allan
No, no
Allan
Shut up, shut up, not now
Allan
Let me handle this
(Allan! Allan!)
Yeah, sorry, one minute, please
All those people out there, all those faces
Screaming at you, looking at you
How long can you really ride the wave?
How long before the crash?
(Allan!)
Yeah, yeah, alright

How many people have I met before?
How many stories have I heard before?
How many times does the introduction hold me accountable?
That was Allan Rayman, no
This is Mr. Roadhouse, nice to meet you
If you follow me, I'll take you to the backroom
Please take your shoes off, don't need them in the backroom
You've been here before? Well, this is best without them
No one knows about them
Welcome to the circle, Mr. Roadhouse
Wait, what about Allan?
He'll be alright, just go ahead, I'll tell him
I'll tell him what he misses
Tell him what he love about it, everything he wishes
All the girls love him now, his friends are getting vicious
This is [?]
This a world for the idols, build a statue, boy
They're smiling at you, boy
Quick, check his vitals
Oh, Allan

Oh, how did we get here?
What have you done now?
Oh no, oh no
How did we get here?
What have you done now, Mr. Roadhouse?

Sometimes, well now, most times
I feel like I'm losing my mind
I'm losing my mind, I'm losing my mind
I'm losing my mind, I'm losing my mind
I'm gone

T-minus 15 seconds, guidance is internal
12, 11, 10, 9, ignition sequence start
6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0
All engines running
Lift off, we have a lift off
[?]

I'm not up, I feel so chewed up, it's real
Oh, what have I done? Oh, no
I rattle the cage
This is not my name
Look what I've become

There's nothing you can do now
I brought this all on myself
There's nothing you can do now
I brought this all on myself

Beware the wolf
Oh, [?] wolf
He knows the woods
He knows the woods
He sees ahead
He sings ahead
He's gone too far too fast
He's gone too far too fast
He knows the path they speak of
Only whispers
He knows the path (Beware the wolf) they don't speak of
Beware the wolf
2 years coming

There's nothing you can do now
I brought this all on myself
There's nothing you can do now
I brought this all on myself

There's nothing you can do now

Together, you and I are laying the foundation of your idol
Together, we are wolves of the hunt
Without me, you're nothing but a sheep to the slaughter
Allan?
Let me take care of this
Embrace your destiny

    snddjowbdg

  92. T.... D....

    why is that on YouTube this song is called The Cage but on Spotify its 25.22?

    T.... D....

    lol it does but i don't care his music is still amazing

    T.... D....

    no doubt, this dude croons hot fire 🔥

    T.... D....

    The Dude most of the videos have more than one of his songs. Allan doesn't just do music videos. He makes movies, accompanied by his music.

    T.... D....

    Kinetic Nrgie yeah I understand but this is a music video to 22.25

    T.... D....

    The Dude it's not tho, Allan isn't like most artists, this story he's telling (which also is apart of "the bird" story) fits best with this song, which may have inspired or been inspired by these either fictional or real events

  93. M.... R....

    Legendary
