the arcade fire - my body is a cage lyrics

Loading...

my body is a cage
arcade fire
(win butler, regine ch-ssagne)

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
that laughs
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

note:
“we were in some sh-tty hotel in the desert,” remembers butler, of a 2005 tour that had wound its way to new mexico. “i started singing in the shower and régine started singing with me, and this song called my body is a cage came out – and it’s probably the most fully formed song we have ever written.”
