Heart in a Cage

I don't feel better when I'm fucking around
And I don't write better when I'm stuck on 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
Oh, the heart beats in its cage
Yeah, the heart beats in its cage
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
And it's three in the morning and you're eating alone
Oh, the heart beats in its cage
Ooh, the heart beats in its cage
All your friends are laughing at us
All of those you love you mistrust
Help me I'm just not quite myself
Look around there's no one else left
I went to the concert and I fought through the crowd
Oh, I got too excited when I thought you were around
Yeah, we got left, left, left, left, left, left, left
And I'm sorry you were thinking I would steal your fire
Oh, the heart beats in its cage
Yeah, the heart beats in its cage
Ooh, the heart beats in its cage

It's cute how you talk to her
Each day's unlike the other
City slicker, bridge and tunnel
The value of a rubber
Stamp on wrists and hands
Dance monkey, dance
Mixed drink romance by the fire
Displayed on a massive fixture
Just smile for the picture
Taken but she let you kiss her
You think she's perfect, don't you, don't you?
Mistaking chance for clues, stop to wonder
At Fifth Avenue's reflection in the gutter
Voices were all in tune beneath the covers
But she felt old wanting you, now she feels younger
Such lovely apparitions
Big fan of vintage patterns
Broke up over long distance
Got reached around like saturn's
Bands, now clap those hands
Every hit lands
Defensive stance, vulnerable
Displayed on a massive fixture
Just smile for the picture
Taken but she let you kiss her
You know she'll cut you, don't you, don't you?
Mistaking chance for clues, stop to wonder
At Fifth Avenue's reflection in the gutter
Voices were all in tune beneath the covers
But she felt old wanting you, now she feels younger
She's on the scene, alone, just for the fun
Her laser beams unlikely set to stun
Forgot your dreams even though you just woke up
You'll find another, won't you, won't you?
Mistaking chance for clues, stop to wonder
At Fifth Avenue's reflection in the gutter
Voices were all in tune beneath the covers
But she felt old wanting you, now she feels younger

Fallen

I'll take the chance
Don't you know that I've been lonely
I meant no offense
When I shared what your friends told me
They said you skipped a breath when I walked past
Oh, now that you've returned you want me back
Yeah, but you know I've been bad, bad, bad
Walking rails and living in the past
Like every road's got a traffic jam
This place will change every day but the reality stays the same
The subway tracks bring me the wrong way
Graffiti tags have lost their poetry
Life just lacks all its vibrancy since you went away
Hey, chase your answers in the stars, darlin'
And I'll find mine in the Brooklyn yard, where I've been
Counting down the days
'Til we land in a good place
Right now, you and I still are
Fallen
You walked out again
Can't count the times you left me
This one's the end
Now I know you never really loved me
What was it that tipped the scales for you this time?
Just seemed nothing worked how hard I tried
Oh, but you know I've been bad, bad, bad
Walking rails and living in the past
I've reached for feelings that I can't grasp
You can say what you want, I'm still gonna move on
Hey, chase your answers in the stars, darlin'
And I'll find mine in the Brooklyn yard, where I've been
Counting down the days
'Til we land in a good place
Oh, right now, you and I still are
Fallen
Hey stay out chasing after stars, darlin'
No, I won't risk another broken heart
Yeah, I've been figuring ways
To land myself in a good place
Where I'll forget all about how far
We've fallen

The End of the World

Tell me why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to the shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
'Cause you don't love me any more
Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when I lost your love
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
How everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does
Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye
It ended when you said goodbye
