Cage The Elephant - Back Against The Wall lyrics

rate me

Tonight I’ll have a look

And try to find my face again

Buried beneath this house

My spirit screams and dies again

Out back a monster wears a cloak of Persian leather

Behind the TV screen

I've fallen to my knees

I said you got me where you want me again

And I can’t turn away

I'm hanging by a thread and I'm feelin’ like a bore

I'm stuck here in between

The shadows of my yesterday

I want to get away

I need to get away

Blanket of silence

Makes me want to sink my teeth in deep

Burn all the evidence

of fabricated disbelief

Pulled back the curtains

Took a look into your eyes

My tongue has now become

A platform for your lies

I said you got me where you want me again

And I can’t turn away

I'm hanging by a thread and I'm feelin’ like a bore

I'm stuck here in between

The shadows of my yesterday

I want to get away

I need to get away

Now you know

Yeah you got my back against the wall

Oh God

I ain't got no other place to hide

Chained down

Like a sittin’ duck just waitin’ for the fall

You know

Yeah you got my back against the wall

Deep in the jungle

Camouflaged by all the fallen leaves

A hand holds up the sky

While shamefully I make my plea

The alter's callin’

But my legs won’t seem to stand

Guess I'm a coward

Scared to face the man I am

I said you got me where you want me again

And I can’t turn away

I'm hanging by a thread and I'm feelin’ like a bore

I'm stuck here in between

The shadows of my yesterday

I want to get away

I need to get away

Now you know

Yeah you got my back against the wall

Oh God

I ain't got no other place to hide

Chained down

Like a sittin’ duck just waitin’ for the fall

You know

Yeah you got my back against the wall

Now you know

Yeah you got my back against the wall

Oh God

I ain't got no other place to hide

Chained down

Like a sittin’ duck just waitin’ for the fall

You know

Yeah you got my back against the wall
