My Cage

written by Madonna.

I have a cage
It's called the stage
When I'm let out
I run about
And sing and dance
And sweat and yell
I have so many tales to tell

I like to push things to the edge
And inch my way along the ledge
I feel like God, I feel like shit
The paradox: an even split.

It's just a job, I always say
I should be grateful everyday
Sometimes, I think I just can't do it
But I persist and I get through it
And I console myself each night
