Strokes - Heart In A Cage lyrics

Well I don't feel better

When I'm fucking around

And I don't write better

When I'm stuck in the ground

So don't teach me a lesson

Cause I've already learned

Yeah the sun will be shining

And my children will burn

Oh the heart beats in its cage

I don't want what you want

I don't feel what you feel

See I'm stuck in a city

But I belong in a field

Yeah we got left, left, left, left, left, left, left

Now it's three in the morning and you're eating alone

Oh the heart beats in its cage

All our friends, they're laughing at us

All of those you loved you mistrust

Help me I'm just not quite myself

Look around there's no one else left

I went to the concert and I fought through the crowd

Guess I got too excited when I thought you were around

Oh he gets left, left, left, left, left, left, left

I'm sorry you were thinking; I would steal your fire.

The heart beats in its cage

Yes the heart beats in its cage

Alright

And the heart beats in its cage
