The Gilded Cage Lyrics - Angel In The House - Story

Even when I was a little girl, even then 

No one could tell me why, no one convinced me 

Through the cathedral, the high windows spilling crimson light 

'Cross the deceived ones, no evidence of grace in their eyes 

But when I saw the father shaken 

Spent like spare change on his knees and under the gun 

Then I wondered what would become of me 

You might have told me that love is not enough 

You might have lied and told me that it was 

The gilded cage and the holy three 

Don't tell the truth as far as I can see 

And in the end you choose someone, something, and others fade from view 

And the world outside your lives exhausts you 

Therein lies the ritual, you harbor no curiosity for the high windows 

The crimson light or the deceived ones dying randomly 

But when I saw the father shaken 

Spent like spare change on his knees and under the gun 

Then I wondered what would become of me 

You might have told me that love is not enough 

You might have lied and told me that it was 

The gilded cage and the holy three 

Don't tell the truth as far as I can see 

You might have told me that love is not enough 

You might have lied and told me that it was 

The gilded cage and the holy three 

Don't tell the truth as far as I can see
