PETER GABRIEL lyrics : "My Body Is A Cage"

(originally by Arcade Fire)



My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key


My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love

But my mind holds the key

I'm standing on a stage

Of fear and self doubt
It's a hollow play
But they'll clap anyway


My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love

But my mind holds the key

You're standing next to me

My mind holds the key

I'm living in an age

That calls darkness light
Though my language is dead
Still the shapes fill my head


I'm living in an age
Whose name I don't know

Though the fear keeps me moving
Still my heart beats so slow


My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key


You're standing next to me
My mind holds the key

My body is a...

My body is a cage

We take what we're given
Just because you've forgotten
That don't mean you're forgiven


I'm living in an age
That screams my name at night

But when I get to the doorway
There's no one in sight


I'm living in an age
They laugh when I'm dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key


You're standing next to me
My mind holds the key


Set my spirit free
Set my spirit free

Set my body free
Set my body free


Set my spirit free
Set my body free
