  S1:
  Driving home she grabs something to eat 

  Turns a corner and drives down her street 

  Into a row of houses she just melts away 

  Like the scenery in another man's play 

  Into a house where the blinds are closed 

  To keep from seeing things she don't want to know 

  She pulls the blinds and looks out on the street 

  The cool of the night takes the edge off the heat

  In the Jackson Cage  

  Down in the Jackson Cage 

  You can try with all your might 

  But you're reminded every night 

  That you been judged and handed life 

  Down in the Jackson Cage

  S2:
  Every day ends in wasted motion 

  Just crossed swords on the killing floor 

  To settle back is to settle without knowing 

  The hard edge that you're settling for 

  Because there's always just one more day 

  And it's always gonna be that way 

  Little girl you've been down here so long 

  I can tell by the way that you move you belong to

  R2:
  The Jackson Cage  

  Down in Jackson Cage 

  And it don't matter just what you say 

  Are you tough enough to play the game they play 

  Or will you just do your time and fade away 

  Down into the Jackson Cage, let's go

  S3:
  Baby there's nights when I dream of a better world 

  But I wake up so downhearted girl 

  I see you feeling so tired and confused 

  I wonder what it's worth to me or you 

  Just waiting to see some sun 

  Never knowing if that day will ever come 

  Left alone standing out on the street 

  'Til you become the hand that turns the key down in

  Jackson Cage  

  Down in Jackson Cage 

  Well darlin' can you understand 

  The way that they will turn a man 

  Into a stranger to waste away 

  Down in the Jackson Cage
