MY BODY IS A CAGE

(Arcade Fire)

​

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
They laugh 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
