Chris Thile Lyrics
"Heart In A Cage"

Oh the heart beats in its cage

Well 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 a 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
And I don't feel what you feel
You see I'm stuck in this city
But I belong in a field

Yeah he gets 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 your friends are laughing at us
All of those you love you mistrust
Help me now I'm 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 I get 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

The heart beats in its cage
The heart beats in its cage
