Karaoké In the Cage Genesis

I got sunshine in my stomach like I just rocked my baby to sleep

I got sunshine in my stomach but I can't keep me from creeping sleep

Sleep, deep in the deep

Rockface moves to press my skin

White liquid turn sour within

Turn fast, turn sour

Turn sweat, turn sour

Must tell myself that I'm not here

I'm drowning in a liquid fear

Bottled in a strong compression

My distortion shows obsession

In the cave

Get me out of this cave

If I keep self-control

I'll be safe in my soul

And the childhood belief brings a moment's relief

But my cynic soon returns and the lifeboat burns

My spirit just never learns

Stalactites stalagmites

Shut me in lock me tight

Lips are dry throat is dry

Feel like burning stomach churning

I'm dressed up in a white costume padding out leftover room

Body stretching feel the wrenching

In the cage

Get me out of the cage

In the glare of a light

I see a strange kind of sight of cages joined to form a star each person can't go very far

All tied to their things they're netted by their strings

Free to flutter in memories of their wasted wings

Outside the cage

I see my Brother John

He turns his head so slowly round

I cry out help before he can be gone

And he looks at me without a sound

And I shout out

John please help me

But he does not even want to try to speak

I'm helpless in my violent rage and a silent tear of blood dribbles down his cheek

And I watch him turn again and leave the cage

My little runaway

Raindrops keep falling on my head they keep falling on my

Raindrops keep falling on my head they keep falling on my

Raindrops keep falling on my head they keep falling on my

In a trap feel a strap

Holding still pinned for kill

Chances narrow that I'll make it in the cushioned straight-jacket

Just like twenty

Second Street when they got me by my neck and feet

Pressures building can't take more

My headaches charge my ear aches roar

In this pain

Get me out of this pain

If I could change to liquid

I could fill the cracks up in the rocks

I know that I'm solid and I am my own bad luck

Outside John disappears and my cage dissolves

Without any reason my body revolves

Keep on turning

Keep on turning

Keep on turning

Keep on turning

Keep on turning

Turning around

Just spinning around

Round

Round

Round

Round

Round

Round

Round

Round
