The Strokes Heart in a Cage song lyrics

I don't feel better

When I'm fucking around

And I don't write better

When I'm stuck in the ground

So don't teach me lesson

'Cause I've already learned

Yeah the sun will be shining

And my children will burn

Oh, 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

Now it's three in the morning

And you're eating alone

Oh, the heart beats in its cage

All our friends they're laughing at us

All of those you loved, 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

Guess I got too excited

When I thought you were around

Oh he gets 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

Yes, the heart beats in its cage

(Alright)

And the heart beats in its cage
