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

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



Oh, the heart beats in its cage

Yes the heart beats in its cage



And the heart beats in its cage
