The Strokes — Heart in a Cage

[Verse 1] 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 [Hook] Oh, the heart beats in its cage [Verse 2] 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 [Hook] Oh, the heart beats in its cage [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Hook] Oh, the heart beats in its cage Yes, the heart beats in its cage [Outro] And the heart beats in its cage
