In the cage Lyrics

In The Cage There's sunshine in my stomachLike I just rocked my baby to sleep.There's sunshine in my stomachAnd I can't keep me from creeping sleep,Sleep, deep in the deep.Rockface moves to press my skinWhite liquids turn sour withinTurn fast-turn sourTurn 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 obsessionIn the cave.Get me out of this cave!If I keep my self-control,I'll be safe in my soul.And the childhood beliefBrings a moment's relief,But my cynic soon returnsAnd the lifeboat
burns.My spirit just never learns. Stalactites, StalagmitesShut me in, lock me tight.Lips are dry, throat is dry.Feel like burning, stomach churning,I'm dressed up in a white costumePadding out leftover room.Body stretching, feel the wretchingIn the cageGet me out of this cage!In the glare of a light,I see a strange kind of sight;Of cages joined to form a starEach person can't go very far;All tied to their thingsThey are 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 'John please help me!'But he does not even want to try to speak.I'm helpless in my violent rageAnd a silent tear of blood dribbles down his cheek,And I watch him turn away and leave the cage.My little runaway.In a trap, feel a strapHolding still. Pinned for kill.Chances narrow that I'll make it,In the cushioned straight-jacket.Just like 22nd Street,When they got me by my neck and feet.Pressures building, can't take any more.My headaches charge. My earaches roar.
In the painGet me out of this pain.If I could change to liquid,I could fill the cracks up in the rock.But I know that I am solidAnd I am my own bad luck.But outside John disappears and my cage dissolves,and without any reason my body revolves.
