Lyrics:

articulate and fill with nothing said the leach of leeches need pen tip drips noxious function a double standard fee redirect burn infinite decadence replaces the next day crawling screams at yesterday eyes gather squinting dissect and fear* gather words of wisdom to fling in vain what is your purpose of this game carcass soiled caged broken pieces in the dust decay nervous exhaustion caused jagged cross analogy destroy to depict it dirt flows down empty veins all alive within will seep away ears enlarge to listen confess the rest to all gazing up looking so angelic force feed nothing hot dirt it was just a little blood it'll wash out lifes ambition for you spiteful

*Although the liner lists this word as 'fear' it sounds to me to be 'tear'.  Maybe a misprint?

Official lyrics as printed in Chainsaw EP, those italicised are samples.

Appeared on:

• Bites on original edition of cassette format only as "Cage"
  • Chainsaw EP as "Cage" (2:20)
  • B Sides Collect as "Cage"

Total Versions: 1 (though the B Side Collect may have been remastered)

Notes:

• This track originally appeared on the 1985 Bites cassette. It never appeared on any of the subsequent  formats of Bites again. However, it resurfaced as a B-side on the Chainsaw EP.      Continuing the format woes, it was dropped from the US version (Stairs and Flower) of that    release. While it remained in print on the CD release of the Chainsaw EP, Cage was once           again overlooked for the 12" Anthology.  Cage was finally compiled on the B Sides Collect.
