It's on the way, you never know
It's on the way, you never know
Tried to get away but they just kept comin'
Landed the jet with the limo runnin'
With a bird on my shoulder, they showed no pity
Left the cage at home and went to Mexico City
It's on the way, you never know
It's on the way, you never know
Stars and players, I knew them all
Crystal bottles lined the wall
Rob from Peter to pay for Paul
They watched me rise but didn't stick around to see me fall
And it's here, and it's now
And it's here, and it's now
Checking all those names right off your list
Until there was no one left to call
Money buys you friends, but friends' money don't buy you much at all
Came so close, I had it all
It felt so good before the fall
I saw it come but I let it go
But I just met two guys with piles of cash in Mexico
You never know, you never know
You never know, you never know
Maybe that bird needed a cage (Needed a cage after all)
Maybe that bird needed a cage (Needed a cage after all)
Maybe that bird needed a cage (Needed a cage after all)
Maybe that bird needed a cage (Needed a cage after all)
