My Body Is a Cage Songtext
von Arcade Fire

My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key

My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key

I′m standing on a stage
Of fear and self-doubt
It's a hollow play
But they′ll clap anyway

My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key

You're standing next to me
My mind holds the key

I'm living in an age
That calls darkness light
Though my language is dead
Still the shapes fill my head


I′m living in an age
Whose name I don′t know
Though the fear keeps me moving
Still my heart beats so slow

My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key

You're standing next to me
My mind holds the key
My body is a...

My body is a cage
We take what we′re given
Just because you've forgotten
That don′t mean you're forgiven

I′m living in an age that
Screams my name at night
But when I get to the doorway
There's no one in sight

I'm living in an age
They laugh when I′m dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key

You′re standing next to me
My mind holds the key


Set my spirit free
Set my spirit free
Set my body free
Set my body free

Set my spirit free
Set my body free
