Heart In A Cage

The Strokes · First Impressions of Earth [2006]

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

When I belong in a field

Yeah we got left, left, left, left, left, left, left

Now its three in the morning and your 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

I am sorry you were thinking I would steal your fire.

Oh the heart beats in its cage

Yes the heart beats in its cage



Oh the heart beats in its cage
