Verse
Gm Bb C The boy child is locked in the fisherman's yard Gm Bb C There's a bloodless moon where the oceans die Gm Bb C A shoal of night stars hang fire in the nets Gm Bb C And the chaos of cages where the crayfish lie Gm Bb C Where is the fisherman, where is the goat, Gm Bb C Where is the keeper in his carrion coat? Gm Bb C Eclipse on the moon when the dark bird flies Gm Bb C Where is the child with his father's eyes? C Bb
Verse
Gm Bb C F Gm He's the king of the ninth world Gm Bb C F Gm The twisted son of the fog bells' toll Gm Bb C F Gm In each and every lobster cage, a tortured human soul
Pre-Chorus
Bb Bbsus4 These are the souls of the broken factories Bb Bbsus4 The subject slaves of the broken crown Bb Bbsus4 The dead accounting of old guilty promises Bb C These are the souls of the broken town
Chorus
Gm Bb C These are the soul cages Gm F C These are the soul cages Gm Bb C These are the soul cages Gm Bb C These are the soul cages

Verse
Am C D G 'I have a wager,' the brave child spoke Am C D G The fisherman laughed though disturbed at the joke Am C D G 'You will drink what I drink But you must equal me, Am G D And if the drink leaves me standing, A soul shall go free' Am C D 'I have here a cask of most magical wine Am C D A vintage that blessed every ship in the line Am C D It's wrung from the blood of the sailors who died Am G D Young white bodies adrift in the tide' Am C D 'And what's in it for me, my pretty young thing? Am C D Why should I whistle when the caged bird sings? Am C D If you lose a wager with the king of the sea Am G D You'll spend the rest of forever in the cage with me'
Chorus
Am C D These are the soul cages Am C D These are the soul cages Am C D These are the soul cages Am C D These are the soul cages
Verse
Am C D A body lies open in the fisherman's yard like Am C D The side of a ship where the iceberg rips Am C D One less soul in the soul cages Am G D One last curse on the fisherman's lips
Chorus
Am C D These are the soul cages Am C D These are the soul cages Am C D These are the soul cages Am C D These are the soul cages Am C D These are the soul cages
