Gilded Cage Lyrics by Father John Misty

Hotel Artemis (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

2018

[Verse 1]
Oh, I sold my fortune, I gave up my claim
I traded sunshine for the pouring rain
I found wise men but I turned the other way
And some day I'll up and fly this gilded cage
[Chorus]
Well, they say only a fool would throw it all away
And some day I'll up and fly this gilded cage
[Verse 2]
Oh, everybody works just like a slave
All full the softest coffin that they made
But I say "why bother coming if you got to leave that way?"
And some day I'll up and fly this gilded cage
[Chorus]
Well, they say only a fool would throw it all away
And some day I'll up and fly this gilded cage
Oh, oh
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Outro]
Well, they say only a fool would throw it all away
And some day I'll up and fly this gilded cage
Well, they say only a fool would throw it all away
And some day I'll up and fly this gilded cage
Some day I'll up and fly my gilded cage
