Sleep Isabella (Live)

I take a steam train to work
 Just like the one my father took
 And I pass over the walls
 I see the people as I look
 I see there's the block
 For folks with purple skin
 There's the block for folks who have no chin
 There's the block for me & all my kin
 And over there's the change cage where we throw the rebels in
 I work the change cage
 Here on our side of the wall
 And I will hold the key until the day they say the cage will fall
 I work the change cage
 Here on our side of the wall
 And I will hold the key until the day they say the cage will fall
 Walls of iron bolted with steel
 Two miles high that should hide how we feel
 And in the city we've walled off each block
 This should work to segregate any racial melting pot
 Long ago we learned of the trouble
 When a man steps out of his life's plastic bubble
 So we walled off the city, caged thoughts that were free
 And now our lives are safe from any change that
 Could have come between you & me
 I work the change cage
 Here on our side of the wall
 And I will hold the key until the day they say the cage will fall
 I work the change cage
 Here on our side of the wall
 And I will hold the key until the day they say the cage will fall
 They say an artist from block 616
 Revived some old art just for his own kicks
 They say his pictures were lewd
 They say his women were nude
 So we throw them inside
 Well now that artist can run, he can hide
 But sooner or later we'll throw him inside
 I don't think the people should see
 Well that's not art to me
 So we'll throw them inside
 I work the change cage
 Here on our side of the wall
 And I will hold the key until the day they say the cage will fall
 And I will hold the key
