"My Body Is A Cage" lyrics
"My Body Is A Cage"
(originally by Arcade Fire)
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
I'm standing on a stage
Of fear and self doubt
It's a hollow play
But they'll clap anyway
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
My mind holds the key
My mind holds the key
My mind holds the key
I'm living in an age
That calls darkness light
Though my language is dead
Still the shapes fill my head
I'm living in an age
Whose name I don't know
Though the fear keeps me moving
Still my heart beats so slow
My body is a
Is a
Is a
Is a
Is a
Is a
Is a
Is a
Is a
My body is a cage
My body is a cage
Oh
My mind holds the key
My body is a cage
We take what we're given
Just because you've forgotten
That don't mean you're forgiven
I'm living in an age
That screams my name at night
But when I get to the doorway
There's no one in sight
I'm living in an age
Where I realize I'm dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
You're standing next to me
My mind holds the key
Set my spirit free
Set my spirit free
Set my body free
Set my body free
Set my body free

Meet me down by the gallow tree.
For it's sad news I bring,

Was never in much doubt
The question was how I could keep sane

Don't bring me secondhand love

Phil Collins - "Take Me Home" Take that look of worry
I'm an ordinary man
They don't tell me nothing
So I find out all I can
There's a fire that's been burning
Right outside my door
I can't see, but I feel it
And it helps to keep...
