New Town Animal in a Furnished Cage Lyrics
I think my watch has bust and so is time
I borrowed all my love so nothing's mine
There's nothing decent on the TV page
Like a new town animal in a furnished cage
It's gone eleven and the bar is shut
I'm sitting waiting like a real good mutt
I watch TV with an actor's rage
Like a new town animal in a furnished cage
I borrowed all my love so nothing's mine
There's nothing decent on the TV page
Like a new town animal in a furnished cage
It's gone eleven and the bar is shut
I'm sitting waiting like a real good mutt
I watch TV with an actor's rage
Like a new town animal in a furnished cage

It's about being drunk and bored and way too likely to return to drinking. It may also be wanting to self-reflect on life by watching a documentary of drunks. "There's nothing decent on the TV page, nothing like me." But since that's not broadcasting, he's got actor's rage.
