ROLLINS BAND - ON MY WAY TO THE CAGE

On my way to the cage, I'm getting taught a lesson,
On my way to the cage, I'm choking on the medicine,
On my way to the cage, I'm stepping hard on four leaf clovers,
On my way to the cage, I'm learning the same thing over and over.

On my way to the cage, the taste of blood is in my mouth,
On my way to the cage, the fear is in their eyes,
On my way to the cage, my animal blood is pure,
On my way to the cage, no regrets and no last words.

On my way to the cage, I'm looking at life and laughin' at death,
On my way to the cage, I'm tripping on pain and feeling fine,
On my way to the cage, you're paying your price and I'm paying mine,
On my way to the cage, I'm watching you cry and wave goodbye.

On my way to the cage, I heard the crowd roar, those of you alone behind me,
I couldn't ask for more, the lights are almost blinding, come closer,
see yourself in my eyes, and fear me and fear me.

Your soul is on a leash, your mind is on a string, your world's inside my fist,
you put yourself above me, but there's something that you missed,
you'll always say you hate me, but you watch me anyway, it's a pain,
you can't resist.
