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>
