Poncho's Boy (Renaissance Woman's Version)

Take a nap in my palm

Take a walk up my arm

Spend your life out of sight

Out of Reach

Out of harm

Go to sleep in the day

You're awake every night

In a cage by my bed

Full of artificial light

You're my friend, but a dull pain persists from your bite

I control what you eat

I don't know what you like

If I could

Then I would

Set you free

Let you fly

But the day I let you go

I condemn you to die

You don't belong here

Any more than I

You don't belong here

And I knew that when I brought you

You were Poncho's boy

My my, little my

Letting days turn to stone

In a cage of my own

Would the way I behave even change had I known

Had I known

I'd be watched

Does it hurt to see me

From your fake plastic tree

Stay inside all the time

With the chance to be free

Am I wrong

For showing you

Showing you your home

Showing you my room

Showing you my world

You don't belong in

Anymore than I

You don't belong here

And I knew that when I bought you

You were Poncho's boy
