Heart in a Cage Songtext
von Chris Thile

Oh, the heart beats in its cage

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, and I don′t feel what you feel
You see, I'm stuck in this city, but I belong in a field
Oh, he gets 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 your friends are laughing at us
All the ones you love, you mistrust
Help me now, I′m not quite myself
Look around, there's no one else there

Well, I went to the concert, and I fought through the crowd
Guess I got too excited when I thought you were around
Oh, I get 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
Oh-oh, the heart beats in its cage


The heart beats in its cage
