Karaoké Back Against the Wall Cage the Elephant

Tonight I'll have a look and try to find my face again

Buried beneath this house my spirit screams and dies again

Out back a monster wears a cloak of Persian leather

Behind the TV screen

I've fallen to my knees

I said you've got me where you want me again and I can't turn away

I'm hanging by a thread and I'm feeling like I'll fall

I'm stuck here in between these shadows of my yesterday

I wanna get away

I need to get away

Blanket of silence makes me wanna sink my teeth in deep

Burn all the evidence of fabricated disbelief

Pull back the curtains

Took a look into your eyes

My tongue has now become a platform for your lies

I said you've got me where you want me again and I can't turn away

I'm hanging by a thread and I'm feeling like I'll fall

I'm stuck here in between these shadows of my yesterday

I wanna get away

I need to get away

Now you know

Yeah you've got my back against the wall

Oh God

I ain't got no other place to hide

Chained down

Like a sitting duck just waiting for the fall

You know

Yeah you've got my back against the wall

Deep in the jungle

Camouflaged by all the fallen leaves

A hand holds up the sky while shamefully I make my plea

The altar's calling but my legs won't seem to stand

Guess I'm a coward scared to face the man I am

I said you've got me where you want me again and I can't turn away

I'm hanging by a thread and I'm feeling like I'll fall

I'm stuck here in between these shadows of my yesterday

I wanna get away

I need to get away

Now you know

Yeah you've got my back against the wall

Oh God

I ain't got no other place to hide

Chained down

Like a sitting duck just waiting for the fall

You know

Yeah you've got my back against the wall

Now you know

Yeah you've got my back against the wall

Oh God

I ain't got no other place to hide

Chained down

Like a sitting duck just waiting for the fall

You know

Yeah you've got my back against the wall
