PETER GABRIEL lyrics : "Wallflower"

6x6 - from wall to wall
Shutters on the windows, no light at all
Damp on the floor you got damp on the bed

They're trying to get you crazy - get you out of your head
They feed you scraps and they feed you lies
To lower your defences, no compromise

Nothing you can do, they day can be long
You mind is working overtime, you body's not too strong


Hold on, hold on
They put you in a box so you can't get heard
Let your spirit stay unbroken, may you not be deterred


Hold on, you have gambled with your own life
And you face the night alone

While the builders of the cages
They sleep with bullets, bars and stone
They do not see your road to freedom

That you build with flesh and bone

They take you out - the light burns your eyes

To the talking room - it's not surprise
Loaded questions from clean white coats
Their eyes are all as hidden as their Hipppcratic Oath

They tell you - how to behave, hehave as their guest
You want to resist them, you do your best
They take you to your limits, they take you beyond

For all that they are doing there's no way to respond

Hold on, hold on

They put you in a box so you can't get heard
Let your spirit stay unbroken, may you not be deterred


Hold on, you have gambled with your own life
And you face the night alone
While the builders of the cages

They sleep with bullets, bars and stone
They do not see your road to freedom
That you build with flesh and bone


Though you may disappear, you're not forgotten here
And I will say to you, I will do what I can do


You may disappear, you're not forgotten here
And I will say you you, I will do what I can do

And I will do what I can do
And I will do what I can do
