Lamb Lies Down on Broadway ,The movie - In The Cage lyrics
rate me<br>
Theres sunshine in my stomach<br>
Like I just rocked my baby to sleep.<br>
Theres sunshine in my stomach<br>
And I cant keep me from creeping sleep,<br>
Sleep, deep in the deep.<br>
<br>
Rockface moves to press my skin<br>
White liquids turn sour within<br>
Turn fast-turn sour<br>
Turn sweat-turn sour.<br>
Must tell myself that Im not here.<br>
Im drowning in a liquid fear.<br>
Bottled in a strong compression,<br>
My distortion shows obsession<br>
In the cave.<br>
Get me out of this cave!<br>
<br>
If I keep my self-control,<br>
Ill be safe in my soul.<br>
And the childhood belief<br>
Brings a moments relief,<br>
But my cynic soon returns<br>
And the lifeboat burns.<br>
My spirit just never learns.<br>
<br>
Stalactites, stalagmites<br>
Shut me in, lock me tight.<br>
Lips are dry, throat is dry.<br>
Feel like burning, stomach churning,<br>
Im dressed up in a white costume<br>
Padding out leftover room.<br>
Body stretching, feel the wretching<br>
In the cage<br>
Get me out of this cage!<br>
<br>
In the glare of a light,<br>
I see a strange kind of sight;<br>
Of cages joined to form a star<br>
Each person cant go very far;<br>
All tied to their things<br>
They are netted by their strings,<br>
Free to flutter in memories of their wasted wings.<br>
<br>
Outside the cage I see my Brother John,<br>
He turns his head so slowly round.<br>
I cry out help! before he can be gone,<br>
And he looks at me without a sound.<br>
And I shout John please help me!<br>
But he does not even want to try to speak.<br>
Im helpless in my violent rage<br>
And a silent tear of blood dribbles down his cheek,<br>
And I watch him turn away and leave the cage.<br>
My little runaway.<br>
<br>
In a trap, feel a strap<br>
Holding still. Pinned for kill.<br>
Chances narrow that Ill make it,<br>
In the cushioned straight-jacket.<br>
Just like 22nd Street,<br>
When they got me by my neck and feet.<br>
Pressures building, cant take any more.<br>
My headaches charge. My earaches roar.<br>
In the pain<br>
Get me out of this pain.<br>
<br>
If I could change to liquid,<br>
I could fill the cracks up in the rock.<br>
But I know that I am solid<br>
And I am my own bad luck.<br>
But outside John disappears and my cage dissolves,<br>
And without any reason my body revolves.<br>
<br>
Keep on turning,<br>
Keep on turning,<br>
Turning around, spinning around.<br>
<br>
