cage the elephant lyrics

I can hear the sounds of sirens circling around Forced to watch the ashes floating softly drifting to the ground

We met up, we broke bread I was blue, your dress was red, ain't it strange? We both knew this day was comin'

Sometimes it makes no sense at all If I stumble, will I fall? If I fall, I'll tuck and roll

Tell me why I was born to live in this skin Tell me how I'm supposed to be forgiven With my hand in the hive and the sun in my eyes, yeah

Sits around inside his house From room to room he moves about Fills his life with pointless things And wonders how it all turns out

Black widow girl you sit and wait Till I climb into the web you made

Hide me in the back room Tell me when it's over Don't know if I can play this part much longer

I've been running for so long All that's left is skin and bones Close my eyes, fight to carry on

And in the quiet still of silence try to hide your eyes Oh no so don't cry, oh no

I remember clearly we were both there on the airplane Told me all your secrets, oh I never saw it coming I thought that you were joking You were actually quite serious

Doctor, look into my eyes I've been breathing air but there's no sign of life Doctor, the problem's in my chest My heart feels cold as ice but it's anybody's guess

Under cover The cloak and dagger Is there a creature in the attic?

Afraid of what the truth might bring He locks his doors and never leaves Desperately searching for signs Too terrified to find a thing

Sending my message to everyone losing control Better not stop till I get home

Close your eyes, don't be afraid Take some of these, they'll ease the pain

You can run, you can hide Girl, I'm gonna make you mine

I can't take it no more girl, I can't take this abuse Every time that you walk in the room girl I'm hypnotized by the way that you move It's the way that you move

You can drive all night Looking for the answers in the pouring rain You wanna find peace of mind Looking for the answer

Are you into the beat? Are you into the beat? I can feel it in my teeth

Promise that you'll never leave me Promise that you'll follow and lead me Breathe me all in, taste of my skin Give me your heart like a hole in the head
