Chris Thile - The Heart Beats In Its Cage lyrics

rate me

Oh the heart beats in its cage

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

And I don't feel what you feel

You see I'm stuck in this city

But I belong in a field

Yeah he gets 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 your friends are laughing at us

All of those you love you mistrust

Help me now I'm 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 I get left, left, left, left, left, left, left

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

Oh, the heart beats in its cage

The heart beats in its cage

The heart beats in its cage
