In The Cage Lyrics - Lamb Lies Down On Broadway - Genesis

There's sunshine in my stomach 

Like I just rocked my baby to sleep. 

There's sunshine in my stomach 

And I can't keep me from creeping sleep, 

Sleep, deep in the deep. 

Rockface moves to press my skin 

White liquids turn sour within 

Turn fast-turn sour 

Turn sweat-turn sour. 

Must tell myself that I'm not here. 

I'm drowning in a liquid fear. 

Bottled in a strong compression, 

My distortion shows obsession 

In the cave. 

Get me out of this cave!

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

If I keep my self-control, 

I'll be safe in my soul. 

And the childhood belief 

Brings a moment's relief, 

But my cynic soon returns 

And the lifeboat burns. 

My spirit just never learns. 

Stalactites, stalagmites 

Shut me in, lock me tight. 

Lips are dry, throat is dry. 

Feel like burning, stomach churning, 

I'm dressed up in a white costume 

Padding out leftover room. 

Body stretching, feel the wretching 

In the cage 

Get me out of this cage! 

In the glare of a light, 

I see a strange kind of sight; 

Of cages joined to form a star 

Each person can't go very far; 

All tied to their things 

They are netted by their strings, 

Free to flutter in memories of their wasted wings. 

Outside the cage I see my Brother John, 

He turns his head so slowly round. 

I cry out help! before he can be gone, 

And he looks at me without a sound. 

And I shout 'John please help me!' 

But he does not even want to try to speak. 

I'm helpless in my violent rage 

And a silent tear of blood dribbles down his cheek, 

And I watch him turn away and leave the cage. 

My little runaway. 

In a trap, feel a strap 

Holding still. Pinned for kill. 

Chances narrow that I'll make it, 

In the cushioned straight-jacket. 

Just like 22nd Street, 

When they got me by my neck and feet. 

Pressures building, can't take any more. 

My headaches charge. My earaches roar. 

In the pain 

Get me out of this pain. 

If I could change to liquid, 

I could fill the cracks up in the rock. 

But I know that I am solid 

And I am my own bad luck. 

But outside John disappears and my cage dissolves, 

and without any reason my body revolves. 

Keep on turning, 

Keep on turning, 

Turning around, 

spinning around.
